According to Professor Tukur Baba, of the department of Sociology at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto a woman can emerge as President of Nigeria.
He spoke on Wednesday when he presented a paper entitled, “Women in Conflict Situation in Nigeria” at a two-day National Conference for Directors of Social Communication of Catholic Dioceses.
He claims that there are formidable women in Nigeria who can emerge as President, if given the chance.
"Circumstances can bring them up to the peak of leadership. Women have been shielded out of relevance for quite long in the history of the country," he said.
“They need the necessary educational, political and economic empowerment to occupy the position.”
“The men have long been sitting on the women and not because women cannot emerge as president.
‘’We have formidable, active and courageous women in the political circle, like Jummai Alhassan, she is one of the amazons.
“They can be as good or bad as men in managing or mismanaging state resources," he said.
