Abstract
This study investigates the impact of womens political participation on good governance in Nasarawa State using a case study period between 2012 and 2023. The objectives of the study were; to examine the extent of womens representation in Nasarawa States political institutions, to evaluate the influence and impact of these women in policy making, budgetary allocations, and the implementation of programs that address gender-specific concerns within the state, and to analyze the socio-economic implications of womens political participation. The theoretical framework employed for this study is Kanters Glass-Ceiling Theory (1977). Citing specific literature and empirical studies on womens political participation and governance, and consulting scholarly articles, policy briefs, and reports published in reputable academic journals and accessible databases, the analysis was bolstered with evidence-based findings. Study revealed that in Nasarawa State as in other parts of Nigeria and the world, patriarchy has over the years dominated the political landscape, leading to significant challenges and barriers for women seeking political roles. However, findings suggest that womens political participation in Nasarawa State positively impacts good governance. Increased representation of women in decision-making bodies improved policy-making processes, prioritized gender-sensitive sectors, and enhanced accountability and transparency. The Study therefore advocated for increase in the number of women in political offices in Nasarawa state which could potentially contribute to better governance by reducing corrupt practices and promoting transparency in decision-making processes.
