Following the end of an eight-year court battle with Toolsie Persaud Ltd over riverfront lands at Providence, East Bank Demerara, Nazar ‘Shell’ Mohammed is forging ahead with plans to develop the 25-acre property into a complex to serve his quarry business and the oil & gas sector, he says.
The area which is also close to the site for the planned New Demerara Harbour Bridge will also see some of the lands leased to the bridge contractor for storage of their materials and machinery.
“We had bought that land a while but it was held up in litigation with Toolsie Persaud. So for eight years we had to wait,” Mohammed told Stabroek News yesterday.
