Farmers protect this species on farms because of its open crown form that allows substantial light and does not inhibit crop plants grown under its canopy. This accounts for the trees use in combination with food crops on farms and particularly in home gardens in south east Nigeria. The tree produces a heavy leaf fall and these are used as a mulch.

The seeds contain 30 - 36% oil, they are used for the production of 'owala-oil', or 'owala-butter' which is used in soap and candle production. The dried pods are used as fuel, the ashes of burnt pods are used as a mordant.

The seeds are decorative and are used as beads in necklaces and rosaries.
