Nigerian Women's Trust Fund Job Vacancies (4 positions)

Nigerian Women's Trust Fund is a mechanism to increase the number of women elected into political positions at all levels of governance in Nigeria. The Mission of the Fund is to facilitate equitable participation and fair play in the political process in Nigeria. In particular the Fund seeks to provide financial and technical assistance to women politicians. The Trust Fund is an independent registered company limited by guaranty, with Goodwill Ambassadors, an Advisory and a Board of Directors.
Women in Nigeria constitute 49.7% of the country's estimated population of 150 million (NPC 2006).
