Download PDF

In Nigeria, access to political, economic and

social leadership positions is difficult because

the society thinks leadership belongs to men.

Women's representation in elective and appointive

positions continues to be disheartening despite

the various declarations by international bodies

like WHO, UN and World Bank. These bodies have

continued to warn that it is mainly by narrowing

gender-inequality gaps in the socio-economy and

general polity can a society develop to its full

potentials.

This publication - the first of the 'Making the case

series’ attempts to examine the trends of women

in governance, , in consonance with trends in all

aspect of the socio-economy in order to determine

how these variables influence each other. The

influences of variables such as; educational

attainment, health/w ell-being, economic

participation/opportunities, interpersonal

relationships between women, corruption and

culture were used to explore the issues of a

traditionally disproportionate gender bias in the

political empowerment model of Nigeria.
