In light of this, NILDS, under the leadership of Prof. Abubakar O. Sulaiman and with support from the management of the National Assembly, is creating a platform for intellectual discourse and engagements on women socio-economic and political empowerment. The NILDS International Conference on Women in Governance provided a platform for experts, government officials, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholder across Africa, to discuss the challenges that women face in political participation and governance in Nigeria and Africa at large. This ultimately led to this evidence-based scientific reader that contributes to the corpus of literature in Africa.   Dr. Emily Ikhide Senior Research Fellow/Head, Gender & Inclusivity Unit, NILDS =538 \\$aMode of access: World Wide Web. =540 \\$aThe text of this book is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0).
