During the Nigerian Civil War, women were involved in various economic activities which boosted the Republic of Biafra’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). At Oru-Igbo, women were involved in producing local gin (kai kai or ogogoro), cassava’s garri processing/production, cassava’s fufu or akpu, tobacco’s snuff trade and other economic enterprises. Women were the major drivers of Oru-Igbo’s IGR, supporting the Igbos’ survival during the genocidal war that claimed 3.1 million lives. Hence, this article aims to investigate women’s role in Oru-Igbo regarding IGR during the Nigerian Civil War of 1967–1970. Generally, Oru-Igbo fared better in living condition compared to other areas in Biafra but also faced some socio-economic challenges, though women in Oru-Igbo suffered significantly. Historical-analytical methods were adopted while primary and secondary data were utilized in this research. The paper’s findings reveal that the Biafran women played prominent role in the IGR. The case study of Oru-Igbo women during the Nigerian civil war, reflected the pattern of other women in other Biafran camps. The women’s economic contributions include making huge sacrifices for their community’s sustenance and survival. While women served as combatants and spies, they also contributed skilled labour in nursing, cooking, serving, trading, feeding, supporting, trading and supplies’ delivery
