Port Harcourt (Igbo: Ụ́gwụ́ Ọ́chá;Pidgin: Po-ta-kot) is the capital of Rivers State, Nigeria. It lies along the Bonny River and is located in the Niger Delta. According to the 2006 census, the Port Harcourt urban area has a population of 1,382,592.
The area that became Port Harcourt in 1912 was before that part of the farmlands of the Diobu village group of the Ikwerre, an Igbo sub-group. The colonial administration of Nigeria created the port to export coal from the collieries of Enugu located 243 kilometres (151 mi) north of Port Harcourt, to which it was linked by a railway called the Eastern Line, also built by the British.
In 1956 crude oil was discovered in commercial quantities at Oloibiri, and Port Harcourt's economy turned to petroleum when the first shipment of Nigerian crude oil was exported through the city in 1958. Through the benefits of the Nigerian petroleum industry, Port Harcourt was further developed, with aspects of modernisation such as overpasses and city blocks. Oil firms that currently have offices in the city include Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron.
Metrorail may refer to:
The Rivers State Monorail (also known as Rivers Monorail and occasionally as Port Harcourt Monorail) is an under-construction monorail urban transportation project in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
It will travel on a fully segregated, mostly elevated, right of way. The right of way will include two tracks, except for single-track sections at terminals and for one-directional loops. It is planned to use Intamin People Mover P30 rolling stock.
The initial route segment will go from Sharks Park to Waterlines, a distance of 5.4 km. Phase 1A of the project will extent from Sharks Park to UTC Station, while Phase 1B will extent the route further north to Waterlines. Further extensions are in planning phases.
The decision to build the monorail was taken in 2009. In 2010, building of the project foundations began. The Government of Rivers State had in February 2013 announced that phase 1A and 1B of the monorail system would be completed during September that year. By 2014, monorail trains were performing test runs through UTC Station.
