Influence of radio on political mobilization in Nigeria: A study of women in Ede North Local government area of Osun State, Nigeria
Abstract
This study examined the usage of radio for political participation of women in Ede North Local Government Area of Osun State. This study examines the problems, first, defining the importance of women to participate in politics. The survey research method was employed in this study and questionnaire was used for data collection from the selected 100 respondents. Findings of the study reflect that broadcast media have positive impact in mobilizing women to participate in politics. Though, there are still gaps from the broadcast media in fostering development for gender equality in politics. The study however recommends that the mass media should come up with more female related programmes to adequately mobilize the women for effective political participation amongst them; more efforts should be made on the part of government in curtailing election violence that erupts during political periods as the fear of violence and insecurity is the major fear of women as regards political participation in this study.
