The plan for the new town was established by the Federal government in partnership with a private corporation based in Abu Dhabi, with the aim to create a competitive urban settlement on the same level of Dubai, Monaco or Singapore, and also to serve as a political and economic tool for securing foreign investment. The plan was presented in 2014 in occasion of the Nigeria centenary celebration but by that time the project is in a conceptual stage and the work of construction has not started yet. source: http://www.centenarycity.com/
