The Secretary General of UWUU Lagos Zone and PRO ANCLA,   Tin Can Port, Comrade  Onome Joy Monije said while  briefing the press that because of the axis of the Lagos Zone, UWUU Lagos, is divided into four  subzones for easy association.

According to her, “The four  subzones are   Island/Ajah zone,   Mainland/Ikeja zone, Badagary/Festac zone  and Ikorodu zone. Each of this subzone is headed by a Coordinator and its Executives. They normally have their meetings monthly, and as  Lagos Zone we come together quarterly for a joint meeting of all the subzones. So we are encouraging all sons and daughters of Urhobo in Lagos, irrespective of their location, they should identify with their various UWUU subzones within their locality.”
