ABSTRACT

The study examines the efforts of the female parliamentarians in promoting issues that

border on women empowerment in Nigeria. Specifically however, the study investigated the

attempts by the female legislators in initiating bills that enhance women empowerment in

Nigeria since 1999. Utilizing the theory of substantive representation which upholds that

representation of women through initiating of policies is not a function of numerical strength

but what each individual legislator does, the study variously transcended the existing

inquiries to unveil that female legislators in Nigeria have not been able to play leading roles

in initiating bills that enhance women empowerment. To this effect, a number of

recommendations were proffered for policy implementation.
