Why more Women aren’t participating in Politics – Ezekwesili

Former minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has expressed that Nigerian women are not participating a lot in politics because of “self-imposed limitations, cultural and institutional barriers”

She made this assertion while speaking at a virtual conference organised by the Lead Generation Initiative (LGI) on Monday.

Ezekwesili noted that the society would be more stable if women were included in governance, because it benefits not just them but everyone.

She further stated that there is need for enhancement of the capacity of women to make quality decisions before they occupy public offices.
