Only you people know those delineations. People outside don't care whether it's Effurun, Ekpam, Jeddo or whatever. Same with the train station. No one cares about the name Ujevwu, as far as we're concerned it's Warri

I have never used an airplane before 😒

How much are they charging from warri to Lagos and lagos warri pls,
I tried searching online I couldn't get the price,it takes about 7-8 hrs to travel from Lagos to warri by road on a journey of 416km max which on a good day should not take more than 4.5 hrs on a very good road
The worst road is from Edo State to Delta,u can spend 3-4 hours just on a journey of 100km due to terrible road especially at the Edo by to Sapele,it's that crazy, sometimes u spend the whole day on that same stretch of road when it rains,

Governor Sheriff is very lucky to have this airport in his village Osubi. The airport was constructed when he was still in Secondary School.

He is currently rehabilitating the road leading to the airport and constructing a flyover at PTI so that journey from the Airport to Warri will be less than 20 minutes

There is an airport along airport road in Warri before they moved to Osubi due to lack of space. That airport in Warri still offer helicopter services for some companies and VIP.

There is no airport in Warri. Airport road is not in Warri.

@emmyN
You do realize it was known as Warri before the breakdown of BenDel and the creation of states and LGAs?🙄 Or is WRPC called URPC or ORPC?😮‍💨

It's simply classified as Warri but you do know otherwise, but not everyone does. It's still been called Warri Metropolitan area no matter where you are travelling from all over Nigeria.
