With Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar as Chairman, Centenary City Plc. is one national project that is doing everything possible to live up to the initial notion of it as a legacy project that came with the celebration of 100 years of the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria. This was conceived and unveiled in the Nigerian Centenary Document as a brand new City to be carved out of the Federal Capital Territory and developed on virgin land. The city is to be patterned after such modern ‘smart’ new Cities as Songdo- among others – with great economic impact on the countries where they are located. The strong parallels to be drawn here are the impact of cities like Dubai, Monaco, Shenzhen, Singapore and Songdo on the overall economic and cosmopolitan profile of the nations concerned.
