Women have been involved in politics in History. They held leadership positions for instance Queen Amina of Zazzau, Queen Kombassa of Bonny Kingdom etc. Some women also held political offices such as the Office of the Iyalode in Yoruba land, Magira in Kanuri land, Sonai in Nupe land. Such offices were created for them to be participants in the political process and to attend to socio-economic needs of their communities. As a matter of fact, they have been a formidable force in contributing to the development of the socio-economic sectors. Thus, women have been part of the development process of their communities whether recognized or not, as many literature tend to concentrate on the achievement of men.
