Warri, Nigeria

Displayed:   times.

Warri is one of Nigeria's oldest riverine towns. It is situated on the banks of the Lower Niger delta which is presently a part of Delta State. The town is is located roughly halfway between Lagos and Port harcourt. It is an important sea port and a very busy town.

The town is very popular amongst Nigerians as an oil-producing town. Most of the foreign and indigenous oil companies operating in Nigeria have offices in Warri. Shell, Chevron and Agip take active part in the Crude Oil exploitation activities going on in this southern town.

Warri residents are very industrious and accommodating but the present negligence of most of Nigeria's oil-producing areas has virtually turned Warri into a violence-prone area. There is a lot of ethnic violence and political tensions in the town. Visitors should be very objective and careful too. More info on: www.world66.com
