In recent past, however, especially in
the wake of the millennium and also in the 2011 general elections, many
women have risen up to the challenges of the time. Many women have come
to assume leadership positions, thereby participating in
governanceacross Nigeria. This is a giant step in the right direction as
it will go a long way in encouraging women participation in
governancein Nigeria society.
The 2011 and 2015 general elections
presented women with good opportunities to navigate the way to power,
those in attendance were female legislators, representative of various
women’s groups, women and male gender activists, the market women’s
association, professional associations and media practitioners. All
these groups of women are after the actualizing the 35% Affirmative
Action Committee by the former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
The
2011 and 2015 general election was seen as a good platform to
authenticate the voting pattern of Nigerian women and their
participation in governance. It is truly evident the active
participation and the support of women to the 2011 and 2015 campaigns
and elections, hence the need for reflection and focused advocacy for
the conscious and quality inclusion of women in the structures of the
newly elected government and parliament through clear pronouncements and
action, thereby promoting governance(AIT’s Focus Nigeria, 2012).
