Abstract

There has hardly been any study that focuses on mentorship as a way of bringing more women into the political sphere in Nigeria. This study seeks to find out the role of female politicians in mentoring other aspiring female politicians in Nigeria. It adopts qualitative research methods using interview instrument. Responses were obtained from two female politicians from a purposively sampled population based on their mentorship qualities. The study finds that mentorship activities are restricted because women themselves barely get enough opportunities to enable them to become mentors. It recommends an improvement in mentorship by successful female politicians.
女性政治家有兴趣指导女性有志者吗?尼日利亚女性政治家选情研究
在尼日利亚,几乎没有任何研究将指导作为一种让更多女性进入政治领域的方式。本研究旨在找出尼日利亚女性政治家在指导其他有抱负的女性政治家方面的作用。本研究采用访谈手段进行定性研究。根据她们的导师素质,从有目的的抽样人群中获得了两名女性政治家的回答。研究发现,指导活动受到限制,因为女性自己几乎没有足够的机会使她们成为导师。它建议改善成功女性政治家的指导。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
