It is common knowledge that Nigerian Women's population constitutes
more than half of the total population figure (UNDP, 1997:9). It is also no news
that they make very significant and essential contribution to development both at local and national levels, though more evident in the local levels. It is without
prejudice that these contributions are largely unacknowledged as is expressed in the Gross National Product (GNP), (Enemuo, 1999:228).
