ABSTRACT
The study is geared towards identifying and analyzing the contributions of women to socio-economic and political development in Nigeria with particular emphasis in Anambra State. It was carried out using both primary and secondary sources of data. The secondary source of data are employed in analyzing the key concepts while the real issues canvased were x-rayed through a survey research using simple percentage in analyzing viewpoints of related members of the society obtained through structural questionnaire. The study observed that women especially those in Anambra Central Senatorial District have contributed meaningfully to nation building in Nigeria and recommended that clear cut policy that will guide women programmes and grant them greater leverage to be part of policy formulation and implementation should be adopted.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 Background of the Study
Since independence, women participation in politics and decision making in Nigeria have been a controversial issue. The 1st republic had only four female legislators in the whole of the country, a negligible number that cannot give women the necessary influence in politics. In that era, the contribution of women in nation building could only be imagined and not felt. The imposition of military rule, an era that followed this period from 1966 did not foster women participation in politics and very little was heard of women in politics and decision making (Samuel and Segun, 2012:7).

It is worthy of note that before 1999, the proportion of seats occupied by women in national parliament never exceeded 3.1% and 5% for federal Executive council (Luka, 2012).

The year 1999 marked the beginning of a new dawn as Nigeria returned to civilian government after the demise of military rule. Women political participation witnessed sharp improvement over previous experience. President Obasanjo who assumed power on May 29th 1999 made a clear departure from the past and appointed 4 out of the 29 senior ministers representing 13.7% and 3 out of the 18 junior ministers representing 16.6%. Furthermore, he appointed 2....================================================================
