| contents | <p><em><span>The Nigerian political landscape has been characterized by gender bias, a trend that intensified after 1999, undermining the democratic principle of inclusivity. This study examines the factors driving the politics of exclusion in contemporary Nigeria by analyzing participants’ perspectives through a quantitative methodology. Findings indicate that cultural beliefs significantly disadvantage women in political participation. Additionally, ineffective implementation of domestic and international gender equality policies contributes to women’s limited political relevance. Other factors, including poor education and limited support for women in local and national politics, were found to have less impact. The study recommends comprehensive sensitization programs, particularly targeting men, to promote the inclusion of women in politics. It also calls for interventions by government agencies and political parties to ensure gender balance and strengthen democratic governance in Nigeria.</span></em></p> |
