Omoku is a town in Rivers State, Nigeria with a population of about 32,000 people. It Is located in the northern part of the state, near the boundary with Delta State and Imo State. It is the capital of the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area.
Oil companies which operate there include SPDC, TOTAL and NAOC. The city's infrastructure has been improved with the construction of dual carriageway roads, a power generation plant and banks.
Omoku enjoys relatively stable power supply.But lately,the Oil companies that provide these services free of charge face a lot of challenges in providing this service.This may not be unconnected to the rapid growth and unchecked development on this social service. It is one of the few towns in Nigeria which are not connected to the national electricity grid and thus is not under the control of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).
