dc.description.abstractFor many decades now, there have been global clamors on improving the access to education for the girl child as a means of attaining the political equality of men and women. It is argued in certain quarters that if women are denied opportunities for education, not only are their lives shattered, but the future of the society is also stolen. This paper examined the educational opportunities of the girl child in Nigeria which forms the panacea for women political marginalization. Data were collected via secondary sources and analysed using content analysis to ensure that all information was current and related to the study. The study revealed that girl child education in Nigeria creates awareness and interest in politics, increase opportunities for appointments/representation of women in various public institutions and thus eliminate marginalization. It was also revealed that right from the era of colonialism the opportunities had been compromised by some debilitating socio-cultural factors; and religious beliefs, poverty, violence and lack of basic infrastructural facilities in schools amongst others. The study therefore recommended among other things the need for the government at all levels to come up with new policies that will strictly restrict political contest to be a battle of ideas and brain, not of brawns so that intelligent women can favourably engage their male counterparts.en_US
