The existing gender stereotype and socio-cultural belief in Nigeria

Second, the existing gender stereotype and socio-cultural belief in Nigeria and other African countries that women are not suitable or lack the qualities of a leader hinder their career progression. In a learning institution, for example, most principals and heads of departments in most cases are men. Hill and Wheat (2017) state that for a woman to reach the leadership status in most schools and learning institutions, she has to achieve much more in practice than men. In Nigeria, the social norm that men are more suitable to be leaders than women makes the government and other involved commissions focus on promoting men. As a result, women in the academic field in Nigeria are reluctant to advance their educational achievements and apply for leadership jobs leading to low candidacy for administrative positions among women. When few women apply for leadership posts, it is more likely that more men will be hired for the available jobs. Outside the academic field, the pressure against female leadership affects morale and demotivates women from dreaming of becoming leaders.
