The Women in Leadership Advancement Network (WILAN) Global (https://WILANGlobal.org) has released the first-ever State of Women’s Leadership Report 2025, offering a data-driven view of women’s representation across political institutions, public appointments, and corporate boards. The launch also marks WILAN’s seventh anniversary and reinforces its commitment to advancing gender equity through research, advocacy, and leadership development.
The report highlights persistent gaps in leadership: women hold just 4.5 percent of National Assembly seats, 8 of 48 federal ministerial positions, and only 41 of 811 local government chair positions. Across the 36 states, women occupy only 49 of 988 State House of Assembly seats, and in the top 50 companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange, female representation in executive and board roles remains low. The report also examines representation in key sectors such as law, economy, and health, offering insight into areas of progress and opportunities for targeted interventions. An interactive dashboard allows stakeholders to explore insights across sectors and leadership levels.
