Elected by the people, accountable to the Union — our leadership upholds the highest standards of democratic governance.
The Central Executive Committee (CEC) is elected by the General Assembly and serves a two-year term under the authority of the Oron Union Constitution.
The Board of Trustees serves as the independent oversight body of the Oron Union, safeguarding the assets, finances and constitutional integrity of the organisation. Trustees are appointed for life by the General Assembly.
The Council of Oro Traditional Rulers (C.O.T.R) is the custodial arm of the Oron Union, comprising the paramount and royal rulers of the Oro Nation. The C.O.T.R provides traditional wisdom, cultural authority and moral guidance to the Central Executive Committee, ensuring that all decisions of the Union respect ancestral custom and the spiritual heritage of the Oro people. Their presence anchors the Union in its deepest roots.
Each of the nine ancestral clans of the Oro Nation is represented by its Clan Head on the Council.
The Oron Union is structured across five interconnected tiers — from the Central Executive Committee at the apex to the clans and village units at the grassroots — united under one constitution and one purpose.
The CEC is the supreme elected administrative body of the Oron Union, responsible for day-to-day governance, policy implementation, and representing the Union at all levels. It is elected biennially at the General Assembly.
