A women and youth-led/focused organisation, dedicated to inclusiveness, empowerment and social development SieDi-Hub, recently organised a competition to mark her first anniversary in which a paper presented by Onyeka Ugwueze was adjudged winner.

In Nigeria, Women and youth are significantly underrepresented in governance and policy-making. Women made up only about 6.5% of the elected representatives in the 9th National Assembly, whilst the youths made up about 5.7% of the members of the House of Representatives.

Similarly, only 381 women contested the 2023 elections out of a total of 4,223 candidates, and in 5 out of 36 states, there are no female candidates for the Senate. Identified factors include socio-cultural factors, lack of accountability and transparency, gender discrimination.

Contextual Analysis Governance and policy processes form the framework through which decisions are made and policies are implemented in organisations and governments. Effective governance and policy processes are essential for ensuring that decisions are made transparently

Economic Participation: Women and youths are also underrepresented in the formal economy in Nigeria. They are more likely to work in the informal sector, which is characterised by low pay, poor working conditions, and limited access to social protections.

Education: Although there have been some improvements in recent years, girls in Nigeria still face significant challenges in accessing education. Many are unable to complete their education due to poverty, early marriage, and other cultural practices that limit.

Stereotypes and Biases: Gender, ethnicity, religion and age stereotypes create the perception that women and young people are not qualified, capable of leadership positions, or participating in decision-making processes.

Lack of Access to Education and Training: Most women and young people do not have equal access to education and training opportunities, which limit their skills and knowledge, and make them less competitive for leadership positions.

Structural Barriers: Institutional and structural barriers such as political systems that favour men, lack of family friendly policies, and limited access to financial resources make it difficult for women and young people to participate in governance and policy-making etc.

The fourth Republic presented hope for a new dawn in the struggle for more participation of women and youth in governance and politics. However, since then both elective and appointive political positions have been dominated by men. In 1999, there were only 3 women out of 109.
