xBut choosing to focus in on these benefits only risks extenuating existing stereotypes into our interpretation of the role of women in politics. I believe enhanced female leadership will also translate into better national security, a better performing economy and lower crime rates. I can already hear the mumbling of men across Nigeria as they read this. If women are busy running parastatals, ministries, local governments, states and countries, who will take care of the home? Women across the world already run nations, states, companies, excelling both at home and at work.
