Abstract

Women all over the world play significant and prominent roles in all spheres of human life. The natural potentials possessed by women including their numerical strength had placed them to occupy strategic positions in most African societies. Among over 160 million Nigerians, women like their male counterpart have contributed unquantifiable in many aspects of national development such as politics, peace building, human recourse development, economic resourcefulness, and home managers. Despite all the roles of women in national development, women are still relegated to the background in many ways suffer all sorts of deprivation and humiliation. A woman for change initiative policy was put in place to address women neglect in Nigeria with a view to restoration of women dignity and pride of place in nation building.
