Greater Port Harcourt (also called Greater Port Harcourt City) is a metropolitan area currently under construction in Rivers State, Nigeria[citation needed]. It comprises the local government areas of Port Harcourt, Oyigbo, Okrika, Ogu–Bolo, Obio-Akpor, Ikwerre, Etche and Eleme.[1] It covers an area of approximately 1,900 km² (734 mi²) and as of 2009 had a population of 2 million people [2] making it one of the largest metropolitan areas in Nigeria[citation needed].
Major plans have been made to build the planned metro area through implementing and enforcing infrastructural development and service delivery policies geared to improving the standard of living and well-being of the people. The key anchors of the new metro area include Port Harcourt International Airport, Port Harcourt City, and Port of Onne.[2]
The Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority (GPHCDA) was created by law on 2 April 2009 as The Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority Law No. 2 of 2009. Its mandate is to facilitate the implementation of the Greater Port Harcourt master plan and develop the new metropolitan area.[2]
