Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Sunday joined dignitaries, business leaders, and investors to celebrate the 51st birthday of renowned entrepreneur Obi Cubana, in an event that also marked the unveiling of the Signature Home at the ambitious Cubana Millennium City project in Asaba.
The high-profile gathering, held at the project site, brought together a cross-section of influential figures from across Nigeria’s business and political landscape, underscoring the growing significance of the development as a transformative force in Delta State’s urban expansion.
The unveiling of the Signature Home served as a major highlight of the celebration, symbolising not just personal achievement for Obi Cubana but also a broader vision for modern, integrated living spaces within the region. The Cubana Millennium City, widely regarded as one of the most ambitious private real estate initiatives in the South-South, is designed to blend residential, commercial, and lifestyle components into a single thriving ecosystem.
Speaking at the event, Governor Oborevwori praised the celebrant for his continued investment in Delta State, describing the project as a bold step toward economic growth and urban renewal.
“This development is not just about housing; it is about creating a new economic ecosystem,” the governor stated. “Projects like the Cubana Millennium City will significantly transform Asaba, extending growth and opportunities across neighbouring communities and strengthening our position as a key urban hub in the South-South and South-East corridors.”
He emphasised that such large-scale investments are critical to the state’s long-term development strategy, particularly in positioning Asaba as a destination for commerce, tourism, and modern living. According to him, the project aligns with the government’s vision of fostering partnerships with the private sector to accelerate infrastructure development and job creation.
The event also reflected the growing influence of Cubana Group, which has expanded its footprint beyond nightlife and hospitality into real estate and urban development. Representatives of the company noted that the Millennium City project is intended to redefine standards in residential planning, offering a mix of luxury, accessibility, and economic opportunity.
Guests at the celebration described the atmosphere as both festive and forward-looking, blending the personal milestone of Obi Cubana’s birthday with the unveiling of a project poised to impact thousands of residents and businesses.
Industry stakeholders present at the event highlighted the ripple effects such developments could have on the local economy—from job creation during construction to long-term opportunities in retail, services, and property management. Investors also expressed optimism about the potential returns and the strategic location of Asaba as a gateway between major economic regions.
For Obi Cubana, the occasion represented more than a birthday celebration; it was a statement of intent. Known for his entrepreneurial drive and ability to build influential networks, he has increasingly positioned himself as a key player in Nigeria’s evolving business landscape.
As the sun set over the project site, the unveiling of the Signature Home stood as a symbol of ambition and transformation—a glimpse into what Cubana Millennium City aims to become in the coming years.
With strong backing from both the private sector and government stakeholders, the project is expected to play a significant role in reshaping Asaba’s urban identity, reinforcing its status as a rising economic hub in southern Nigeria.
