Seats for women! (but not at the table)

<p>There are over 200 million people in Nigeria. Half (50%) are females. Yet, female representation in Nigeria’s Parliament (the National Assembly) is less than 5%. A legislative bill (HB1301) is currently being considered which would increase the number of seats for women to a mandatory 18%.</p> <p>This week we analyze this bill and find that the devil, as always, is in the details.</p> <p>This episode was produced by Nabilah Usman, Richard Anyebe, Dominic Tabakaji, and Sam Tabakaji.</p> <p>Executive producer Rahmat Muhammad.</p> <p>Special thanks to Mrs. Nkiru Uzodi at the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC), Rabia Hadejia and Mala Iwa Gbado Ikaleku.</p> <p>Copyright (c) 2021 Triple-E Media Productions.
