Port Harcourt, or the Garden City as it is popularly known, is the capital of Rivers in western Nigeria. It lies along the Bonny River and is an important national trade port. Port Harcourt is well connected with an international airport and is less than an hour from the Nigerian capital city of Lagos. There is also a well-developed system of roadways and bridges.
Average temperatures in Port Harcourt range from 23°C–33°C. It is cooler between the months of November and March but dustier owing to the presence of dust-carrying winds called Harmatton. Rainfall is exceptionally heavy in June.
The residents of this port city number about 245,000. Today, Port Harcourt is the capital of Nigeria’s blooming oil industry.
Port Harcourt is a place one can refer to as home away from home. Port Harcourt is hospitable and full of opportunities, gainful jobs, fast growing city in Nigeria as the people and government are on the same page as development is being embraced... a lot of developmental iniciatives in being explored. Port Harcourt is the first Nigerian city with the advanced rail transport project (on-going); with a porposeful leadership structure.

It's a very beautiful and attractive city, i love it and it will always be my most favorite city in Nigeria, and in the whole of Africa. It's the petroleum hub of Nigeria and the heart of Nigeria's economy and it is also called the garden city because of it's beautiful landscape. It is one of the biggest city in Nigeria
