About us
UPA Houston was founded in 1982 by group of Urhobos who lived around the Houston areas, many of them were students, who had travelled to the United State for further studies. Using ethnicity and to some extent the Urhobo Language as rallying tool, the group quickly and easily found and gathered themselves and no sooner Urhobo Progressive Association was formed.
