Background of the Study
Women empowerment is a fundamental aspect of social and economic development, yet in many parts of Nigeria, including Wukari Local Government Area (LGA) in Taraba State, efforts to empower women are hindered by various geopolitical disparities. Geopolitical factors such as political affiliations, ethnic diversity, and regional power dynamics often shape the distribution of resources and access to opportunities, including those aimed at women’s empowerment (Ajayi & Olayemi, 2024). Wukari LGA, with its ethnic diversity and historical challenges, presents a unique context for understanding how geopolitical disparities impact women's access to empowerment programs. These include access to education, healthcare, financial resources, and participation in decision-making processes. This study aims to examine how the interplay of regional politics, ethnicity, and local governance affects women empowerment initiatives in Wukari.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In Wukari LGA, women empowerment initiatives have been inconsistent, often influenced by the political and ethnic divisions within the region. While the national and state governments have made efforts to promote gender equality and empower women, local power dynamics and geographical differences significantly hinder the success of such initiatives. This research will investigate how these geopolitical disparities impact the accessibility and effectiveness of women empowerment programs in Wukari.
