Most people, including inhabitants, describe Oguta Town as being on the east bank of Oguta Lake. Oguta’s high-yield oil and gas resources make it an economically essential, oil-producing region of Imo State in Nigeria that hosts major oil firms like AGIP, Shell, Chevron. Oguta is also used as a synonym for Oguta LGA, whose headquarters is at Oguta. Oguta is one of Imo’s 27 LGAs.

Imo State is one of the six geopolitical zones that make up The Federal Republic of Nigeria. Oguta was one of the endowed lands the British utilised and exploited through the Royal Niger Company, UAC, and later the British Colonial Government.

Oguta was one of Nigeria’s oldest commerce and administrative centres due to its strategic waterways, oil and gas, palm produce, agricultural products, and natural resources.

Connected to River Niger, Oguta waterways were used by British and later Nigerian government forces during the Nigeria – Biafra civil war as routes to access and connect to the adjoining towns, villages, and other settlement types nearer and further from Oguta, which were and remain principally peopled by other ethnic Igbo people, the Mgbidi, Orlu, Awo-Omamma, Nkwerre, Owerri, Okigwe,

Oguta’s 2012 population was 20,096.
