Abstract
A study of the political history of Nigeria, like any other democratic society reveals that shaping or reshaping a course requires initiating enabling policies. Similarly, it is becoming increasingly clear in the wake of our deeper understanding of democracy that it is impossible to do things outside existing policies. It is therefore apposite that any form of restructuring in an organized society should commence with either amending the existing policies or initiating new policies that would support the entire idea. Therefore, it should be mentioned that driving the ideals of Women In Technical Education & Employment (WITED) requires putting in place favourable policies. However, it is instructive to state that initiating such policies demands that more women who are well disposed to the WITED ideals are put in the boardrooms, legislative chambers and other strategic places where they could be in commanding positions to do the needful. On this premise, it must be stated that the acid test of women’s sincerity towards promoting the ideals of WITED would be their resolve to participate in the politics of their environments to ensure that more women are part of the decision/policy making process. For instance, the edge that those from ‘educationally less advantaged states’ as well as the ‘disabled’ enjoy in the admission process into higher educational institutions today is a product of such favourable policies. It is in the light of the above that this paper seeks to explain that women participation in politics is critical to promoting WITED ideals.
