INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Stud
Women empowerment is a very significant and sensitive issue that should not be under estimated in our global world today. There are key roles that are meant for women to play in order to effect a positive change in our world.
Empowering women can make or mare a nation. Therefore when we talk about women empowerment, we need to emphasise that it is a positive one such that effect good happenings.
The researcher will like to briefly mention some powerful women; women in power; that is women that are naturally empowered by God and also by nature. These are powerful women like queen Amina of Zaria, queen Elizabeth of England, Ruh and queen Esther in the Bible, to mention but a few.
In the business world and activities, women need to be strongly empowered because the world is changing on daily basis.
Research has brought to our knowledge that many African countries have gone far in empowering their women in small scale business. Even the American Countries are not left behind. In other words, Nigeria has a great need to wake up to the task.
