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 Chief Executive Officer of the Housing and Construction Mayor Limited, developers of the upcoming Alesa Highlands Sustainable Smart City, rejoiced with fellow investors and estate developers over this development.

He asserted that this is the hallmark of modern states, noting that it is 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, therefore, called for the digitization scheme to transcend the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority to the entire land and housing agencies in Rivers State, pointing out that this would make land grabbing and land fraud a thing of the past.

he stressed that the process, when fully implemented, would also ensure that acquisition of land certificates and building permits would become 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 stated that 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 Government to continue to reduce obstacles to businesses by boosting Ease of Doing Business in the State.
