The state has some private companies like Royal salt at Enyimba the boundary of Ikwo and Izzi which specialize in mining salt and exporting it to foreign countries some other ones that minis lead and limes in somehow illegal.
I use the word illegal because the indigenous from the state who suffers from the bad odds of mining has nothing to benefit from these companies rather than the consequences in return.
