At the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, Governor Fubara, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, described the New Port City as a smart city that will be one of its kind in this part of the world.

The New Port City, to be developed by Rainbow Heritage Group Limited, promises to be a self-sustaining metropolis, boasting an impressive array of features, including port infrastructure, residential districts, commercial agriculture, small and medium scale industries, commercial districts, social facilities, 24-hour independent power supply, roads with bicycle and pedestrian ways, water, solid waste, and sewage treatment, parks, and landscapes.

The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of Eleme Local Government, Chief Brain Gokpa, praised the governor for finding Eleme worthy to host such an ambitious project, promising that the people of Eleme would own the project and provide necessary support for its success.
