He also reiterated that one of the priorities of the Administration of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is to provide quality yet affordable shelter for the citizens in line with the United Nations Habitat Agency Charter which recently earned the governor a recognition award in the United States for his outstanding contribution in a category named Sustenable Cities and Human Settlements Awards (SCAHSA) which was given in recognition of Governor Wike’s outstanding achievements in the area of Urban Renewal, Sustenable Cities and provision of basic amenities to the residential areas of low-income earners.

He therefore lauded Masta Services for its confidence in the vision of Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority and the Rivers State government while also encouraging other investors to leverage the opportunities for investment across various areas within the Greater Port Harcourt City.

In his response, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of  Masta Services Company Ltd, Bldr. Ugo Ohuabunwa, thanked God for this epoch making event and expressed his delight with the formal signing of the deal while assuring that every segment of Residents of Rivers state and the host community in particular irrespective of social and economic status have been factored into the overall project as it will accommodate from the High low- income to High High- income earners to own affordable modern Apartments within the PH AIRPORTCITY which will invariably guarantee a sense of belonging to all stakeholders.

Ohuabunwa also assured that the project targets to provide over 3000 employment opportunities during the construction period and after, thereby boosting and transforming the Economy of the adjoining communities and the State in general.

According to the Director of Communications and Marketing of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority, Adebayo Adeoshun, the deal signed between the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority (GPHCDA) and Masta Services Co. Limited is aimed at boosting provision of modern and affordable housing stock in Port Harcourt.
