Ekrejegbe

Last updated

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 spill 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]

The Urhobo people, including Ekrejegbe people, are said to be organized either by elders based on the age-grade system (gerontocracy) or based on rich and wealthy (plutocracies)". [7]
