Apart from Nigeria with the largest number of Oron Development Union members, Oron Development Union USA, Inc has the second largest membership. The American journey started in different cities, independent of each other until the formation of the National Organization in 1993. In 1987, Oron sons and daughters in Washington, D.C elected their first Officers with Dr. Clement Eyo as President and later as the first National President of ODU USA Inc. Similarly, Oron indigenes in Atlanta also began to meet monthly in early 1988 and nominated Mr. Eyo A. Eyo to run the affairs of the chapter. Soon after the formation, Atlanta started organizing fundraising activities annually to help fund the Union. In 1992 during the fundraising event organized by Atlanta Chapter, Oronians invited from different parts of United States agreed to form a committee to explore the possibility of organizing a National chapter of the Union. Members included Mr. Ita Ntekim, Mr. Asuquo Ating and Mr. Uwe O. Uko. Committee members mailed questionnaires to all Oronians for comments, inputs and suggestions. The response they received was overwhelming that they made a recommendation to the house for the formation and registration of Oron Development Union as a Non-Profit Organization. Mr. Ating Asuquo, the Atlanta Chapter President in preparation for the conference, labored tirelessly to pull off a successful conference. In 1993, Oron Development Union, USA was formally inaugurated. Members agreed in principle to adopt the Missions, Goals and Objectives of the home Union and further mandated the Incorporation of the Union with the appropriate authorities as a Non-Profit Organization. Conference nominated and approved the following members as the first National Executive under the careful and efficient moderation of Dr. Eno C. Otoyo who appointed Mr. Christopher Oyobio to be the Returning Officer.
