This book, Women Mobilization in Nigeria: A historical Appraisal of the Better Life Programme (BLP) for Rural Women is a factual historical analysis of the activities of the Better Life Programme which was launched on Friday, September 18, 1987, by the then First Lady, Her Excellency, Maryam Babangida. Since the advent of human existence, parity, equality and fairness have been an issue faced by societies both in ancient and even in modern times. An equitable future for all in a society that places the female child as inferior should be a concern for all. This laudable initiative gave the rural women, at that time, a fighting chance against extreme poverty, illiteracy, discrimination, inequality, hunger, violent crimes against women as well as other social vises. Overtime, this increased the self-confidence, self-love, and restoration of the dignity of our rural women. This subsequently engendered active participation of more women in cultural, socio-economic, religious and political matters as they concern national development.

There are indeed inspiring women who are creating more equitable future for all. Large numbers of intelligent, thoughtful, hardworking women desire a change in the level of their participation in nation building for the common good of all. It is therefore, very important for societies to acknowledge the very simple fact that, public-spirited mother means public-spirited sons. Women who have held various positions in different facets of life have distinguished themselves in the professions, academics, politics, religion and even in the sciences. Many women have left indelible footprint in the annals of history. Many Nigerian women are making the nation and the world proud in the various positions they hold or have held in the past. The likes of the late Dr. Dora Nkem Akunyili, former Director General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the current Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Amina J. Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), to mention but a few. Their excellent performance and great accomplishments speak volume of their impeccable character. Some may wonder and ask rhetorically, what wrong will it possibly do to society, if more women are mobilized to take their rightful place in leadership to help champion the course of a sustainably developed Nigeria, that will be the pride of all citizens? Therefore, This book is not just an ordinary literary work, it is a wake up call, an inspiration for more women to work hard towards championing more activities of women mobilization for the common good of all.
