Abstract
We critically examined the consciousness of Nigerian women about their rights and roles as well as their social, political and economic responsibility, and the hindrances they face in the society using Family Support Programme in Lagos State as a platform for inference. Simple random sampling technique was considered in the distribution of questionnaires in the three LGAs (Epe, Ikeja and Lagos Mainland). The hypotheses tested showed that: (1) family support programme will enhance women participation towards nation-building (2) the traditional role of women will not significantly contribute to nation-building (3) the present role expected of women in society will increase their participation in politics and (4) Social and educational background will strongly encourage women participation in nation-building. However, the data collected from the survey indicates that there is more work to do to improving the professional development, quality of women life, and governance of women education. Hence, continued study is needed to be evaluating the contributions of Nigerian women towards nation-building.
