AB  - This study, empirically examines the role of micro-finance accessibility on women empowerment in
Nigeria. A cross sectional dataset was obtained from 257 women and the study applied seemingly unrelated
regression analysis on women empowerment. Finding from the study shows that amount of loan is positively
associated to economic and household decision making while other factor such as age and family size
significantly influence economic decision making of women. The study therefore recommends a sensitization
programme to educate men on the importance or role of women in the household, especially in terms of income
contribution.
