PROTOCOLS
1.             It is great to be home, in Port Harcourt, to join you all in tribute to a city, which in the 100 years since that faithful day of 30th August 1913, has done so much for so many. At 100, the city of Port Harcourt is still roaring with potentials, as it appears strongly determined to assert its well-earned position as a comprehensive industrial, entertainment and scholastic hub. There can be no doubt that this is indeed a special city; not only is it a few months older than modern Nigeria; its streets are literally paved with history, and legacies.
