dc.descriptionThe Oron people, comprising the Idua, Okobo, Effiat-Mbo, Ebughu, Enwang and Oron Ukpabang groups, inhabit the western bank of the estuary of the Cross River. Oron people share boundaries with the Etebiand Ubium in the Eket region and the Uruan groups of Ibibio in the Uyo region. In 1983, the population of Oron was estimated at over 600,000. The attempt under the sponsorship of the Oron Union to write the history of Oron people goes back to 1964. In that year, the Union set up an Oron history committee under the chairmanship of Rev. S.K. Okpo.The Committee held several meetings at such places as Oyubia, Okuko, Nsie and Uda and drew up a comprehensive questionaire for oral interviews. Unfortunately, these efforts came to an abrupt end during the Civil War.
