Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Tuesday, unveiled the ground-breaking ceremony for the Cubana Millennium City—a high-end luxury real estate and commercial development championed by business mogul, Chief Obinna Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana).

The event, held at Witchtech Junction in Asaba, drew government officials, traditional rulers, business leaders, and real estate investors from across the country.

The governor, who hailed the project as a symbol of confidence in Delta’s stability and economic future, praised the Cubana Group for what he called its “bold steps about the future of Asaba,” insisting that the venture proves investors increasingly trust the state’s security environment and business climate.

“No investor commits to a state unless they trust in its stability,” he said. “We have maintained peace, supported law enforcement, strengthened community relations, and ensured that Delta remains a safe and welcoming environment for businesses to thrive.

“Today, we are not just turning the soil—we are turning a new page in the story of Delta’s development.”
Obi Cubana described the development as an “ambitious real estate project” intended to serve as the “Banana Island of the South-South and South-East.”

He said the master-planned community is designed to feature luxury homes, commercial districts, smart-city infrastructure, green zones, entertainment clusters, and premium security architecture.

According to him, the objective is to redefine “premium living” in the region, adding “We are creating a modern, elegant, secure and lifestyle-forward community that will stand as a benchmark for urban luxury”.

“Growth is built on collaboration. We are bringing the best minds and partners together to deliver a city that reflects excellence, progress, and opportunity.”

He promised that the project would anchor a new wave of employment and economic expansion, to reshape Asaba.
