Warri, Commercial port city in Delta State, Nigeria.
Located along the Warri River in the western Niger River delta, Warri stands as a primary center for petroleum refining and industrial manufacturing in Nigeria.
Founded by Prince Ginuwa from Benin in the late 15th century, Warri developed from a trading post into a major petroleum and industrial center by the 1970s.
The population combines three main ethnic groups - Itsekiri, Urhobo, and Ijaw - each maintaining their traditional practices, languages, and celebrations throughout the city.
The city connects to northern Nigeria through an oil pipeline network and features a modern seaport that facilitates cargo transportation between the Niger River and Atlantic Ocean.
Warri houses Nigeria's second petroleum refinery, established in 1978, and maintains an integrated steel plant in Aladja that processes materials for national distribution.
