Governor Oborevwori Praises Obi Cubana's Millennium City as Transformative for Asaba
Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has publicly commended the renowned entrepreneur Obinna Tochukwu Iyiegbu, widely known as Obi Cubana, for his substantial investments aimed at strengthening the state's position as a major urban hub in Nigeria's South-South and South-East regions.
Commendation at Birthday Celebration
The governor delivered this commendation on Sunday evening in Asaba during the 51st birthday celebration of the Cubana Group chairman. The event attracted numerous dignitaries, captains of industry, and well-wishers from across the country.
Oborevwori described the Cubana Millennium City project as a transformative development that signals a new phase of urban expansion for the Delta State capital. According to him, such large-scale investments are poised to redefine the economic and urban outlook of Asaba, positioning the state as a fast-growing destination for both local and international investors.
Vision for Urban Transformation
The governor noted that Obi Cubana's vision and sustained investment in the state represent a landmark initiative capable of reshaping Asaba's physical and economic landscape, while also extending development to surrounding communities. He further explained that the project reflects a modern approach to city development, integrating contemporary architecture, smart infrastructure, and diverse investment opportunities.
"This development is not just about housing; it also marks a major milestone with the unveiling of the Signature Home within the Cubana Millennium City project," Oborevwori emphasized during his remarks.
Obi Cubana's Global Ambitions
In his response, Obi Cubana stated that the project is driven by a long-term vision to establish a world-class residential and commercial hub that can compete globally. "We are building more than houses—we are creating a city that will stand the test of time and rival any in Africa. A place where people can live, work, invest, and thrive in an environment that meets global standards," he declared.
He added that the project's strategic location—near the Asaba International Airport and along key transport corridors—positions it as a prime investment destination with strong potential for value appreciation over time.
Integrated Urban Development
The Cubana Millennium City is designed as a fully integrated urban development, featuring:
- Modern residential units
- Expansive commercial spaces
- Comprehensive lifestyle amenities
The initiative aims to create a "city within a city," combining comfort, accessibility, and long-term economic value, while contributing significantly to Delta State's overall development trajectory. This ambitious project represents a substantial private sector investment in urban infrastructure that could serve as a model for similar developments across Nigeria.
