Abstract
This crosssectional study reports the data of five facial measurements: facial height nasal height, maxillary height, mandibular height and orofacial height among the Urhobo people of southern Nigeria. Sample size comprised of 140 individual, 60males and 80 females. The result of the study showed that Urhobos are mesoproscopic. Sexual dimorphism was also observed with males having significantly higher indices than female (P< 0.05). This study provides a base line data for the Urhobo people of Southern Nigeria.
