Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State may have commissioned a huge park of attraction in the state near the Air Force Base, but has continued to invest in it, pledging to take it to world-class standards and global fame. Already, huge number of children and adults storm the park every day and weekends looking exceptional.
Addressing journalists on Friday after inspecting the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park Cinema completed by his administration, Governor Wike said key facilities were being developed to improve the quality of experience at the Park.
He described the new cinema constructed within the Park as a five-star facility that raises the standard of entertainment available to people in the Niger Delta. “We have just completed a five-star cinema within the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park. This cinema is about the best in the country.
“It will offer first-class entertainment to the people of the region and beyond. Instead of going to Dubai for relaxation and tourism, you come over to Port Harcourt to enjoy the pleasure of this Park,” he said.

According to the governor, the Rivers State government will continue to develop new facilities that will complement existing structures within the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park.
The governor said the new cinema would be thrown open to the Public after the Commissioning programme on September 11, 2019.
He said his administration was determined to ensure that the beauty of Port Harcourt is restored and Port Harcourt made a major tourism destination in the country.
He expressed happiness that sanity is returning to the streets of Port Harcourt, with the Task Force on Street Trading, Illegal markets and motor Parks doing a splendid job.
He also inspected ongoing projects in GRA and other parts of Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas.
The administration will roll out several projects to mark the first one hundred days of his second term, he said.
