Oyouomi was born in Omoi, near Franceville in southeastern Gabon, and he taught mathematics for a time. He was Deputy Director-General of the Gabonese Social Insurance Fund (CGPS) from 1973 until 1975, when the CGPS was renamed as the National Social Security Fund (CNSS); Oyouomi was then appointed as Director-General of the CNSS, succeeding Jean Ndende.

He entered the government as Minister of Social Security and Welfare in August 1981 and remained in that post until September 1989, when he was instead appointed as Minister of Justice. He served only briefly in the latter position, as he was dismissed from the government in April 1990. Subsequently, he was appointed as Ambassador to France in early 1991, remaining in that post until 1993; Honorine Dossou Naki succeeded him as ambassador in 1994.
Oyouomi founded the political party Gabon of the Future in August 1999;
