Great NIGERIAN WOMEN - leaving their foot prints in the sands of time

Synopsis

The Nigerian women have form time immemorial refused to be confined to societal expectation of a subservient condition of domesticity. They have always stood up to be counted in the scheme of things concerning the corporate existence of our great country. History is replete with women of substance who have chosen the path dreaded by the men folk. They have been freedom fighters and gender equality advocates. They are captains of industry and also dominated most professional bodies. The political atmosphere is charged with a new trend of conscious re-awakening of women for a fair deal of affirmative action for political positions. Today, there are many of our women in government as Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, DGs of MDAs, and Permanent Secretaries etc. Our women are top ranking officers in the Military, Police and other Paramilitary outfits. They are part of the elite community and intelligentsias and also dominated the academia. The advocacy for Women to take charge of the affairs of the country is gathering momentum and as democracy sustains, a Woman President for this country may not be farfetched.

The women indeed deserved to be celebrated given their role and support towards the growth and progress of our country. The compendium, Nigerian Women is a special tribute to the women folk. It will showcase their individual achievements and contributions towards the making of the great nation Nigeria has eventually become.
