Mayor of Housing commends Gov Fubara on Digitization of Greater PH City land processes

THE Mayor of Housing, My-ACE China, has expressed profound excitement and commendation on the flag-off of the Digitization scheme for the e-Governance of all operations at the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority (GPHCDA).

He has also welcomed the New Port City initiative which would develop a housing scheme over 1000 ha at the Elementary axis where the Alesa Highland Sustainable Smart City is proposed.

China said in a statement that the mere fact that every single transaction in the eight local council areas covered by the Greater PH City would be online and without any form of human interaction is evidence that Rivers State is now finally open and ready for business, in fact ready for e-business.

The Mayor of Housing noted that this great stride coming after the Economic Summit, and after the submission of the Recommendations of the Summit also shows that Gov Sim Fubara does what he says. “This will surely boost the confidence of the organized private sector and both local and international investors.”

The Mayor of Housing who is also the CEO of the Housing and Construction Mayor Limited, developers of the upcoming Alesa Highlands Sustainable Smart City, rejoices with fellow investors and estate developers over this development, saying this is the hallmark of modern states. He also called it a big pillar in the pursuit of ‘Ease of Doing Business’.

China recalled his strong call on June 8, 2024, at a special live radio interview (Super FM) on the need to upgrade all land businesses to digital level.

He has therefore called for the Digitization Scheme to move from the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority to the entire land and housing agencies in Rivers State to make land grabbing and land fraud a thing of the past, and to make acquisition of land certificates and building permits seamless and fast.

He commended the wonderful officials at the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority who worked tirelessly to birth this process and urged them to work even harder to ensure that the joy of the business community would not be cut short.

Meanwhile, China has also reacted to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by the Rivers State Government and a developer to develop the New Port City in Eleme axis. He says the aggressive pursuit of Housing by the Fubara administration will push Rivers State High in the housing sector and boost investment.

He also saw a positive connection between the two Housing projects in same zone saying the New Port City would cater for the low end market while the Alesa Highlands Sustainable Smart City would cater for the high end.

He appealed to the state govt to continue to reduce obstacles to businesses by boosting Ease of Doing Business in the state.
