Download Why are there so few women presidential candidates in Nigeria's election?
There are just a few more days to go until millions of voters in Nigeria have their say on who they want to be their next president.
The field of presidential candidates is crowded and dominated by men. Despite women representing half of the population, the number of women being elected to political office in Nigeria remains low. Women represent around 5% of federal lawmakers and a woman has never been elected a Governor.
Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja has been speaking to young people in Lagos who have strong opinions on the challenges women with political ambitions face.
