dc.description.abstractLiterary education has been identified as an important tool for meaningful development. A meaningful development can only take place where men and women are active participants. It appears that Nigerian women have been constrained by lack of literacy to play their role in the development of their communities. To really bring them to the lime-light, their empowerment is important. This paper therefore submits that rural women can be empowered if different adult literacy programmes such as basic literacy, post literacy, civic literacy, functional literacy and family literacy are made available to them. The paper recommends among other things that government at all levels should show more commitment to adult and non-formal education programmes through friendly legislation and proper finding to make adult literacy programmes available to rural women empowerment in Nigeria.
