It is quite incredible that the Buhari administration that has been preaching gospel of inclusiveness reconstituted the Governing Councils of five federal universities namely University of Ibadan, OAU Ile Ife, Uniport, University of Lagos and the Maritime University in Delta State comprising five members each totalling 25 individuals without including even a woman. It is ‘‘curiouser and curiouser’’ as depicted by ‘‘Alice in Wonderland.
According to the National Democratic Institute , there is growing recognition of the untapped capacity and talents of women and women’s leadership. Over the last decade, the rate of women’s representation in national parliaments globally has incrementally increased from 15 per cent in 2002 to 19.8 per cent in 2012. The data has improved globally. Some regions have seen particularly dramatic increases, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, where the number of women in parliaments has risen from 13.7 to 19.
Since assuming 56 per cent of the seats in the Rwandan parliament in 2008, women have been responsible for forming the first cross-party caucus to work on controversial issues such as land rights and food security. They have also formed the only tripartite partnership among civil society and executive and legislative bodies to coordinate responsive legislation and ensure basic services are delivered.
