Burukutu is one of the major beverages in north central Nigeria. Research has shown that it is as old as the people. It is the only alcoholic beverage that existed in Igala land before the introduction of other drinks such as Ogogoro which came from the South-South. It is used in prestigious occasions and it accords high respect in anywhere it was served. Unlike the modern alcoholic drinks which have dangerous and negative side effects, burukutu has no such thing. Instead, it is medicinal, and has in fact financially empowered the women to be buoyant and independent.
