UBURU IN EBONYI STATE (THE SALT OF THE NATION)

Uburu Salt: Women Who Turn Earth into Gold

In Uburu, Ebonyi State, salt making is a centuries-old tradition powered by women.
Passed down from mother to daughter, it is a craft that has sustained families and strengthened the community.

The process is simple yet skillful: women gather saline earth from the lake, filter it overnight in clay pots, and then boil the brine until pure salt forms. They mold it into solid cakes, famous for their taste and healing qualities.

This salt once built bustling markets and even kept Biafra alive during the w@r, when salt was scarce.

Today, Uburu women still rise early to continue this heritage.

It’s time for the Ebonyi government to invest in the salt industry, modernize production, and support these women so Uburu salt can reach its full potential. Ala Igbo.
