History of Summit

---

The Summit Area is named after the Summit Furniture factory that was built in the area in 1978. Summit Furniture factory was the vision of Chief Philip C. Asiodu who wanted to develop industry in Asaba, Delta State (previously known as Bendel state). The importance of this factory could not be understated at the time, such was its iconic importance that it was commissioned by Vice President of Nigeria, Alexander Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme GCON.

Summit served as a landmark for travellers approaching Asaba from the expressway and very soon the area became recognised as Summit and the main road was identified as Summit road. This name is still recognised by Deltans as the main road into the City. 

Summit is a historical district of Asaba that is situated at Kilometre 12 on the Benin-Asaba highway.

Summit is one of the best places to live and work in Asaba and offers residents security and amenities.

As a thriving area, there  are lots of restaurants, hotels and businesses including the newly proposed Summit Garden and Park. 

In terms of accessibility , Summit is only 10 mins drive from Asaba International Airport and 5 mins drive from the Ultra-modern Asaba Mall.  All this makes Summit an ideal area to live and work whilst being connected nationally and internationally.
