In history, even among many socially advanced nations of the world, the status of women was always seen as inferior to that of men. Not only were women's role secondary, women were, in several cases, totally excluded from participation in certain activities.

This has been the case with most administrations in Nigeria prior to the ascension of President Goodluck Jonathan. He has set significant milestones in empowering women in terms of political appointments and gender friendly policies, hence, portraying him a lover of Nigerian women.

His administration did not only opportuned Nigerian women but has empowered them to contribute their quotas and discretions to the development of the nation in various capacities and diverse sectors of the economy. A few of the Women in his Administration are listed below:
Mrs Akon Eyakenyi- Minister of Lands and Housing
Mrs Laurentia Laraba Mallam- Minister of Environment
Hajia Asaba Asmau Ahmed- Minister of State for Agriculture
Ms. Olajumoke Akinjide- Minister of State for the FCT
Mrs Ngozi Okon-Iweala- Minister of Finance
Professor (Mrs) Viola Onwuliri- Minister of State1- Foreign Affairs
Mrs Sarah Ochekpe-Minister Of water Resources
Mrs Deizani Alison -Madueke- Minister of Petroleum Resources
Mrs Omobola Johnson - Minister of communication Technology
Hajia Zainab Maina- Minister of women Affairs and Social Development
Hajia Zainab Ibrahim Kuchi- Minister of State, Niger Delta Affairs

Mrs Roli Bode-George-Director General of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)

It is however commendable for his true democratic governance giving Nigerian women the chance for their voice to be heard and listened to.
