The New Ebonyi State, Nigeria

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

[@ojimma8819]

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.

[@infotant]

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.

[@YommyFermi]

Great job bro. I hope that the subsequent administration can sustain this vision and keep it up.

[@waroniabenson8554]

This is well planned city in the south East

[@isaachp9673]

Nigeria leader are too old or think backward this is why Nigeria need young leaders... 🆗why construct 1950s houses and open gutters in 21century ,, If Nigeria don't want to look far they should learn from South Africa how 21 century building should look alike and how roads are constructed with quality

[@misswogdaily2344]

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!😊

[@arinzeobinna8387]

The name Ebonyi has nothing to do with ebony, Ebonyi takes its name from the anglicization of the the name of a river that flows through the state

Thank you bro We the ebonyians really appreciate your handwork bro Keep it up

Thank you

[@UbanizedMedia]

Such a masterpiece. You've done a very nice job with the coverage. Umahi is really taking Ebonyi state to the next level. The only thing remaining for Ebonyi to thrive is Human capital development and I hope the next governor focuses seriously on that

[@DavidNkwa]

True

[@isaaceze7555]

All these your human capital development its high time you guys will need to expatiate what exactly is human capital development.

[@collinsogbuzulu7303]

Sometimes I keep on imagine if Dave Umahi is an Angel sent to Ebonyi state to wipe away their tears.....

[@DavidNkwa]

The Governor did well, however what he did is what every other governor is supposed to have done. It should be a normal thing. However since we have been so long ruled by failures and wicked politicians, once in a while if we find something like this it looks like miracle

[@okahchinonsoemmanuel9159]

Thank God say I from Ebonyi state

[@ojimma8819]

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

[@DavidNkwa]

Good point Ojimma, maybe they have not thought about that.

[@ejikeeze1348]

The two major entrance were dual lane one two lane each side while the other is three each side more two is on construction as of today watch the video very well two appeared instead of three in that particular ares because he doesn't covered the whole centenary city

This looks way better than Lagos. If some skyscrapers can be built then FDI can pour into Ebonyi. It will become an economic powerhouse with decent infrastructure compared to other cities.

[@DavidNkwa]

So FDI follows Skyscrapers? Not so my friend. Proper infrastructure such as good road, constant light, security, sewage, refuse treatment and tax incentives is what is needed to drive FDI and not Skyscrapers. The concept of Skyscrapers is really not needed in Nigeria to be honest, because we have massive unused land

[@jaybee4577]

[@ariseshinebright8845]

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.

[@raphduru9787]

Good performance Gov Umahi. But all these paintings of his building projects in green and multiple colours reduces their beauty and is archaic. It reduces the aesthetics of Abakiliki as a modern city. Someone should whisper this to Umahi please. Look at Dubai and other big cities of the world. No one goes about painting bridges and buildings in green and orange colours

[@ejikeeze1348]

You are the only one who doesn't like green colour I have been in Dubai for 10 good years the city spent a whole lot of money to make Dubai looks green because it's a desert
