Urhobo Today is a Nigeria-based online news publisher focused on the Urhobo nation and the wider Delta State/Niger Delta. It reports daily on governance, elections, community development, culture, and security, and closely follows the oil and gas economy that shapes the region. The outlet also chronicles traditional institutions—covering royal successions, palace decisions, and festivals—alongside local health and social initiatives. Its coverage has documented campaigns for the creation of an Urhobo State, debates within the Urhobo Progress Union, and energy-sector announcements that affect livelihoods.
Publisher and editor Oghenekevwe Laba, a Lagos-based journalist, leads the newsroom. Editorial, advertising and information contacts are published for readers and community groups, and the outlet invites donations to sustain reporting.
Urhobo Today publishes original articles, opinion pieces and features, and complements them with short videos under the banner “Urhobo Today TV,” serving readers across Delta Central and the Urhobo diaspora. Its beats span state politics, courts, education, business and sports, with recurring coverage of figures such as Senator Ede Dafinone, community health outreaches in Ughelli and Uvwie, and energy forums involving Shell and security actors such as Tompolo.
By centering Urhobo perspectives while situating stories within national conversations, the outlet provides a running record of local politics, culture and development seldom captured by national dailies. For audiences seeking consistent reporting from Urhobo communities, Urhobo Today functions as both a news service and a cultural archive.
