The governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano has ambition for his state and given a clue to his ambition.

He said he plans to build an ultramodern millionaire’s city that will reflect the proud heritage of Ndi Anambra as the home of the greatest number of billionaires in Nigeria.

Speaking while inspecting three flyovers that are rising simultaneously in the emerging city of Awka at the weekend Obiano said, “We have a vision of building a Millionaire’s City. Most of the millionaires in Nigeria are from Anambra.

“I also understand that most of the people who own private jets in Nigeria are from Anambra. So, we want to set up a place for them where they can come home and build befitting estates with helicopter landing pads,” he stated.

Obiano restated his commitment to ensure that Anambra remains crime-free as it was crucial to all development efforts.

“We still maintain zero-tolerance for criminals in Anambra State. We have enough work for everybody.”

Obiano assured pointing out that the three flyovers that are under construction in Awka had created over 1200 jobs while Coched Farms Limited, an Agro-allied firm operated by the Coscharis Group in partnership with the state government had so far employed over 700 people in its first phase of operation.

Obiano also spoke of the plans to open up bid for the Millennium city project saying that Awka Capital Territory Development Authority ACTDA would soon be processing requests for lands in the choice location.


“The Awka CT will determine the kind of buildings to be erected in different locations,” he remarked and further revealed that the aerial mapping and photography of the Awka Captial Territory had finally been completed and approved by the Anambra State Executive Council.

“The aerial photography of the rest of the state would have been concluded by now but the weather would not permit that. So they will continue in October. By December they would have done the aerial mapping of the rest of Anambra State. So this aerial mapping has a great deal of importance to Anambra State. It will assist in estate development, erosion control, agricultural planning etc. It will also bring down the cost of doing business in Anambra State. We are one of the few states that have done it in Nigeria,”Obiano remarked.

According to him, the aerial mapping was the first stage of the state’s digitization programme. “When we are done with the Aerial mapping, we shall go to the next stage which is the GPS stage of this project where the GPS in our cars will guide us to different locations across the state.

Governor Obiano also revealed that four different companies are bidding to handle the design of the proposed Awka Capital City.

“The companies have made their presentations and the tender board will review and advise on the best option. By the time they are done, the chosen design will be super-imposed on the present Awka. That will give us a clear idea about the changes to make. On the whole we shall choose a design that will give us minimal compensation to pay as we expand Awka to be one of the best cities in the world. Just like everything I do, I am very serious about this project and I want to re-assure Ndi Anambra that this project will be completed on time,” he added.

Obiano also announced that as part of the overall plan for the anticipated Awka Capital City, he had directed the Special Committee on power to include Awka in the captive Power Project which gives special locations 10 megawatts of electricity. Other cities on the scheme are Onitsha, Ozubulu and Nnewi.

Prophet of doom

Building another city is a nice thing but i think the govt should finish the building of greenwood/ millennium city first before embarking on another.

Good development, though am from Akwa Ibom but Igbo by marriage I tend to rejoice in every positive news coming from there.
The city must be well planned by Urban and regional planners, strictly surveyed by Surveyors no compromise should be allowed by so doing many of our brothers on the West side will start heading home.
And cases of flooding will be avoided!

Most of the millionaires in Nigeria are from Anambra.

“I also understand that most of the people who own private jets in Nigeria are from Anambra. So, we want to set up a place for them where they can come home and build befitting estates with helicopter landing pads,” he stated.

This empty and shallow chest beating indeed a social malady in ibo land.

What kind of world do these people live in?

That's all you saw in that report?

I hope that unlike Peter Adaobi he has done something about the poor destitutes that samaritan Fashola helped reunite with their kindred, before trying to cater for the rich who don't need government assistance to build their estates.

Actually, most of the loudest and unpolished millionaires are from Anambra. The competition to shout is so intense, any means necessary is acceptable to get wealthy.

Remember Eze-ego, the Okafor guy who met a sad end at such a young age. Where is the wealth today?

Notice how some people have lost their peace over this piece of good news. What then will happen when igbos start relocating sstrategic business department of their conglomerates

Obiano kudos for the great plan, please allow for much room for future expansion and don't just stop at millionaires City also build a boulevard or another wall street with dedicated power supply similar to what is obtained world over that would host their company branches or head quarters

Anambra Akwulugo!!

I am happy about this. Let's hope wealthy private investors can get involve to make this a reality.

I know you are Yoruba....children of hate, jealousy and negativity

Anambra is a state to watch out for. The level of development going on in the state is shocking. How he is able to get all these projects going on simultaneously is baffling especially with such a low allocation.
