Ubeji Community
Appearance
Ubeji Community is an Itsekiri community located in the Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. Ubeji community is host to the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC or Warri Refinery) and as such, suffers huge environmental pollution.[1][2] It is home to a large number of Itsekiris due to it being within the main Warri city. It shares boundaries with Ifie Community, Aja-Etan Community, Ijala-Ikenren Community, Ekpan Community, etc.
The Olu of Warri is the King of Warri Kingdom and as such, he reigns over Ubeji Community like all other communities in Warri Kingdom.[3] [4]
