A new urban development, Asaba Waterfront City, is rising along the banks of the River Niger, positioning Delta State as a major hub for modern waterfront living.
Popularly described as “The Venice of Africa,” the project covers approximately 400 hectares of prime riverfront land.

The city is designed as a mixed-use modern capital combining residential, commercial, leisure and tourism facilities.
Developers say the project is aimed at redefining urban lifestyle and boosting economic activities in the region.

With its strategic location in Asaba, the waterfront city is expected to attract investors, tourists and property developers.
The project features planned marinas, luxury housing estates, business districts, recreational centres and green spaces.

Industry experts believe the development will stimulate job creation and enhance real estate value in Delta State.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote sustainable urbanisation and private-sector-driven development.
Stakeholders say the project will also improve the aesthetic and environmental profile of the River Niger corridor.

They added that the project will incorporate modern infrastructure, security systems and renewable energy solutions.
Interested investors and members of the public are encouraged to make enquiries through the project’s official contact line.
