Abstract:Nigerian women are educationally, politically, economically and socially disadvantaged, but at the same time, their labour power and reproductive capacity are fully utilized and ruthlessly exploited; especially, their labour power is fully utilized in the so-called informal sector. The Nigerian woman has still to grasp the full significance of her contribution to the development process. Once she does so, she will be in a position to defend her basic human rights and help define the direction that the development process should take. Notes.
