The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has stated that the state is fully open to investors and prepared to support responsible investors to drive sustainable growth across all areas of the state.
Oborevwori made the remark on Tuesday during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cubana Millennium City in Okpaman, Oshimili North Local Government Area.
Represented by his Deputy, Mr Monday Onyeme, the Governor emphasized that the event highlights both the current and future potential of Delta State.
He said, “Your decision proves something we already know: Delta State is open for business, open for investment, and ready for sustainable growth.”
“Our administration is guided by the M.O.R.E. Agenda; every project we encourage and support must align with these pillars, and I am proud to say that Cubana Millennium City fully reflects the spirit and vision of the M.O.R.E. Agenda.
“We are not just turning the soil. We are turning a new page in the story of Delta’s development. This partnership with the Cubana Group is a model for how government and the private sector can collaborate to deliver progress that is tangible and sustainable.”
“The state Government will continue to support responsible investors who share her vision for prosperity and who are committed to improving the lives of her people.”
He described the groundbreaking as more than just the start of a construction project, but the birth of a new economic ecosystem—one that will create jobs, attract investment, and serve as a blueprint for modern urban living in the state.
In his welcome address, the Chairman of the Cubana Group, Chief Obinna Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana), explained that the Cubana Millennium City is a project that will evolve into a world-class community, becoming a hub for lifestyle, entertainment, hospitality, and investment that connects the South and the East.
He noted that the goal of the Cubana Group is to develop a modern ecosystem where people can live, work, relax, and thrive without leaving the environment.
“The project represents vision, commitment, and possibilities, and the belief of the Cubana group that Nigerian cities deserve world-class development with safe communities, smart homes, integrated commercial zones, green areas, entertainment clusters, and infrastructure that truly supports the dreams of young people.
“It will engage hundreds of workers during construction and thousands more upon completion, and will attract local and international attention, raising the profile of Asaba as one of the fastest-growing urban centres in Nigeria.
“Cubana Millennium City is not just a real estate project. It is a legacy. It is a legacy of excellence, of innovation, and of service to the community’s development and the advancement of the Delta State Governor’s M.O.R.E. agenda,” he added.
He praised the governor for his unwavering support and for creating an enabling environment that allows private investors to dream bigger and act boldly.
Earlier, PUNCH Online reported in November that Oborevwori unveiled the Kwale Free Trade Zone in Kwale, Ndokwa West Local Government Area, noting that the initiative would drive unprecedented economic growth, attract both local and global investors, and generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs in the state.
