Our VIsion
The Urhobo Progress Union America members value our common ancestry and cultural heritage. Our organization believes in the critical importance of passing on to our children the positive aspects of Urhobo culture and values. As a nonprofit organization, we recognize the importance of giving back to our host communities, Urhobo land, and North America in general. We encourage you to join us in our vision by donating today.

Mr. Thomas Uwhubetine
BOT Chair
My esteemed BOT members, sons and daughters of UPUA. I am honored to serve as your BOT chairman. My mission is to move our union forward as attested by our motto: Okugbe,
ebga voyan robaro (unity, strength and progress) and in the spirit imbedded in our national anthem: Edefa me rh! akpo Urhobo me wha rhe ( when I reincarnate, I will come through
Urhobo). Our union is twenty years old and it is time to move it from a mom&pop none for profit association with grace, resilience, and transparency to its right place in the 21st century. What does this mean? UPUA needs its own house and offices with paid staff and volunteers to achieve the 21st century dream. So, lets join hands together to actualize the words our Urhobo National Anthem: Urhobo orere r!Ivie Sa-a (Urhobo a town of distinguished KINGS)
Long Live UPUA, May we be distinguished amongst our peers
