Effurun is a prominent town located in Delta State, Nigeria, and serves as the administrative headquarters of Uvwie Local Government Area. It lies adjacent to Warri and forms part of the larger Warri metropolitan area. Over the years, Effurun has grown from a small indigenous settlement into a bustling urban hub known for its strategic location, vibrant markets, educational institutions, and commercial activities.

Historically, Effurun is home to the Uvwie people, an Urhobo-speaking ethnic group with rich cultural traditions. The town has played a key role in the socio-economic development of Delta State, particularly due to its proximity to the oil-rich regions of the Niger Delta.

Effurun is also notable for hosting the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), established in 1973 to provide specialized manpower for Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. Its central location near the Warri refinery, Osubi Airport, and major road networks has made Effurun a gateway to business, education, and tourism in southern Nigeria.
