Keywords:
governance, politics, Nigerian women, Role womenAbstract
This work is a review of the role of women in politics and governance in Nigeria. It is viewed from many perspectives, the participatory orientation of women in politics and governance in Nigeria has been very low. Despite the phenomena not being a prerogative of any particular gender. With the world becoming a global village achieved through science and technology, the consciousness and awareness of women towards politics and governance been raised. In this study therefore, we shall use the dominance theory as the framework of our analysis.
