Ugep

Western Africa

Ugep, also known as Umor, is a town in the Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River State in southern Nigeria. The town is populated by the Yakurr people, whose local language is Lokaa. The GeoNames gazetteer records Ugep as the seat of the second-order administrative division of Yakurr within Cross River State, at about 5.81 degrees north and 8.08 degrees east and roughly 101 metres above sea level, with a recorded population of 200,276. The Wikipedia article on the town is short and states only its location, its people and their language, so this entry says no more about its history or economy than those two sources support.
