Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has called on
Rivers people to patronise the entertainment industry in the state for the
growth of state economy.
While inaugurating the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park
Cinema on Wednesday as part of his first 100 days in his second term, Wike said Rivers
people should expend their money on relaxation and entertainment facilities in
the state capital.
According to him, "This time, there is no need
to travel to Dubai, United States or
United Kingdom to relax or be entertained.
"We now have those facilities here in Port
Harcourt. We have provided entertainment
facilities to stop our people from travelling out for such purpose. Spend your
money in our state. There’s no need for you to even go to Abuja."
The governor said the new cinema though built by
the state government would be administered by a private investor for
sustenance.
He added that high a level security has been
provided in and around the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park to protect the serene
and beautiful facilities.
Wike assured the people that the state government
would continue to work to satisfy them and
create the right environment for them to live comfortably.
He reiterated that the leadership of the state would
not succumb to blackmail and negative propaganda.
In a project description, the Permanent Secretary of
the Special Projects Bureau, Sunny Okere, said the project was designed to give
the people maximum comfort.
He said the 250-person capacity cinema is divided
into three sections, adding that the cinema has standard walls, lighting
effects and sound proof.
Also, Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area,
Solomon Eke, commended the governor for executing key projects in the area.
He said the people of Obio/Akpor LGA would continue
to support Wike, maintaining that they exhibited their love for the governor by
the way they defended their votes in the 2019 elections.
