Renowned Nigerian entrepreneur and Chairman of the Cubana Group, Chief Obinna Tochukwu Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, celebrated his 51st birthday in style on Wednesday in Asaba, Delta State, with the high-profile unveiling of Signature Home — a prototype residential unit within the ambitious Cubana Millennium City development. The dual celebration drew prominent figures from government, business, and the investment community to the expansive project site in the Delta State capital.
Governor Hails Investment Vision
Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was fulsome in his praise for the Anambra-born businessman, describing the Cubana Millennium City as a landmark project with the potential to fundamentally reshape Asaba's urban landscape. Speaking at the ceremony, the governor commended Obi Cubana for choosing Delta State as an investment destination, arguing that the initiative represents a modern, integrated approach to city development. "This development is not just about housing; it is about creating a new economic ecosystem. Projects like the Cubana Millennium City will significantly transform Asaba, extend growth to neighbouring communities, and strengthen our position as a key urban hub in the South-South and South-East corridors," Oborevwori said. He reaffirmed his administration's commitment to supporting private sector-driven projects that advance economic expansion, infrastructure development, and job creation across the state.
A City Within a City
The Signature Home prototype showcased the estate's design philosophy, blending modern luxury with smart living features and functional layouts tailored for contemporary homeowners and investors. Designed as a fully integrated urban development, the Cubana Millennium City is set to encompass residential units, commercial spaces, and lifestyle amenities — effectively a self-contained city. Its strategic proximity to the Asaba International Airport and key transport corridors, according to project promoters, positions it as a prime investment destination with strong prospects for capital appreciation. Obi Cubana told guests: "We are building more than houses — we are building 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."
Broader Economic Footprint
In a congratulatory message issued through his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, Governor Oborevwori highlighted Obi Cubana's broader investment footprint in Delta State, citing both the Cubana Millennium City and the Cubana Wonderland Hotel as significant contributors to the state's hospitality sector and overall economic growth. The governor also acknowledged the entrepreneur's role as an inspiration to young Nigerians, crediting his resilience and commitment to excellence as drivers of business innovation and wealth creation among the youth. The event concluded with a guided tour of the Signature Home, offering invited guests a firsthand look at the project's architectural ambition and premium construction standards.
