Ekrejegbe is a village in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria,[1] having boundaries with Ekakpamre. The people are mostly Christian and traditional worshippers.[1] One of the streets in Ekrejegbe village is called Ekrogbe Quarters.[2]

On 17 September 1999, Ekrejegbe was among some Ughievwen communities affected by an oil spillage that resulted in a fire.[3]

On 20 April 2018, Ekrejegbe was one of the two Ughievwen communities, where the Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa performed a "ground-breaking ceremony for a 400MW combined cycle power plant".[4][5][6]
