Bonny, Rivers State – A new era of significant growth and development is actively unfolding in Bonny, Nigeria, as the city experiences a surge in construction activities. Two major expansion projects are currently underway, extending from the cemetery to the bridge towards the palace road. Residents are expressing widespread excitement, anticipating that these infrastructural enhancements will usher in new opportunities and significantly stimulate the local economy.
Central to this burgeoning growth is the recently formed Bonny Chamber of Commerce, a collective of dedicated entrepreneurs. Their primary objective is to position Bonny as a secure and attractive destination for potential investors. To achieve this, the Chamber has initiated a series of training sessions aimed at equipping local businesses with essential skills for success in an expanding market.
Mr. Amairigha Edward Hart, the charismatic immediate past President of Bonny Chamber and current Chairman, Bonny Kingdom Development Committee (BKDC), has been a tireless advocate for the city’s potential. His efforts include extensive engagement with security agencies and government officials to ensure the safety and security of Bonny’s waterways, thereby fostering a secure environment for business and investment.
Addressing historical challenges such as piracy and armed robbery, the Chamber is collaborating closely with authorities, reporting significant progress. Notably, no major security incidents have been reported in the past two years, reflecting improved security conditions.
With the city’s economy on an upward trajectory, the Chamber is keen to attract further investment. Plans are in motion for a grand expo designed to showcase Bonny’s vast potential, which they anticipate will be a resounding success. Boasting a rich history, vibrant culture, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Bonny is poised to establish itself as a prominent player on the global stage.
The upcoming expo is envisioned as a powerful symbol of the city’s renewed confidence and a testament to the collective hard work and determination of its inhabitants. As Bonny’s residents look towards the future, they do so with pride, actively building a future characterized by safety, prosperity, and abundant opportunities for all. The incumbent President of Bonny Chamber Constance Nwokejiobi, and other dignitaries were also present at the media briefing.
