ABOUT EYUMOJOCK SUB-DIVISION

Eyumujock Sub-division is young, vibrant and growing. It was created in 1982 by Presidential decree and has a surface area of 3,442 Sq. Km and a population of approximately 80,000 inhabitants. The sub-division has secondary, technical and high schools located in the various communities.

There are 66 villages with 3 principal ethnic groups or clans namely: (1) Keaka or Ejagham central (2) Ekwe or Ejagham Njemaya (3) Obang clan. Each clan has a customary court area with sittings at Kembong, Inokun and Bakogo.

Eyumojock town has wireless telephone access provided by MTN and Orange Cameroon as well as electricity supplied by a diesel generator. However, the municipality is still largely underdeveloped and lacks basic infrastructure like feeder roads, health centers, electricity from the power grid and portable drinking water. For global development agencies, Eyumojock is a fertile ground for renewable energy (solar)  assistance projects due to pressing needs and availability of sun light all year round.

There is a range of touristic areas to be fully exploited such as Lake Ejagham, the German graves at Nsanakang with embellishment of German antiquities during the 2nd world war. The Akpata hill in Ossing still serves as an ancient missionary group.
