  • Abakaliki is the capital of Ebonyi state which was created in 1996
    The centenary city, it’s one of the newly developed areas in Abakaliki Ebonyi state, which was created to expand the city metropolis.
    The project was started by the past government of the ex-governor Martin Elechi in 2014 when Nigeria was celebrating one hundred years of amalgamation.
    Today, the present governor David Umahi has completed most of the project and beautifies the place.
    The centenary city houses the new government house of Ebonyi state and lots of the state Ministries offices, with a good working environment, especially when compared to other sister states.

    I've been to lokoja the capital of kogi and observed that the city lack space to expand. I think this solution will work in kogi state only if the state government will visit ebonyi state to take some words of advice. This is great ebonyi. Weldone

      the same old story. Single lane everywhere and in the future they will start demolishing people houses to dualize the roads. Why not dualize it now during planning/construction.

      When I first visited Lokoja, I saw a town that has the potential to become one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria: think about the beautiful mountain views, the confluence of rivers of Niger and Benue, beautiful rocks and landscapes. However, Kogi governors appear somewhat visionless. With proper planning and investment, Lokoja could surpass Abakaliki in the spirit of fair competition, but it seems very unlikely due to poor leadership and ethnic rivalry between indigent residents. Kogi indigenes hardly invest in the state, as they show preference to Abuja.

    This looks like a nice place to live. My best friend in elementary school was named Eboni. It's a black, female name in the United States however I think most African American females with this name have never heard of this state in Nigeria. When we think of the word ebony we just think of it as a color or shade to symbolize black. I'm still not sure where this word derives from. Great video!😊

    i like the planning but what i still can't understand is why we in S.E are fond of creating single lane road instead of dual lane. The centenary city is massive but why are all the road not dual? that i don't undstd, now in the future when population has grown, they will then start demolishing people houses to dualize the road. Same old story in Abia, Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi. A single lane that cars can't 360 on. So sad

      The concept of Skyscrapers is really not needed in Nigeria to be honest, because we have massive unused land

    It's well planned, good concept but all I could see are government buidings, no residential or commercial buidings. It's okay! This kind of area takes time to complete. Why would you be comparing a portion of a city to the entire Enugu and Owerri?😂 It's like comparing Centenary City Abuja to Lagos. Thats poor comparison. Enugu also have Centenaey City that was founded the same period with this one but it's already well develooed, all the streets tared. It is the best layout in the South East. Also, Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State is currently buiding a New Enugu City with speed. 10,000 hecters, thats massive and it will have 2 massive arrificial Lakes. Aside New Enugu city, private sector (Enugu indihines jn the US) has been buiding Lion Business Park since 2022 and its in progress. All the 4 slots for 5 start hotels in the park have been taken.
    Just yesterday, American investors just signed another deal to build African medical city in Enugu. $303m investement. With this, Enugu is currently the fastest growing city in Africa They have it ali! Human resources! And they are very quiet about their progress. The governor doesn't even play to the gallery.
