Her name will always be mentioned in history of Nigerian politics, she is Senator Franca Afegbua who represented the old Bendel State of Nigeria (Bendel North senatorial district) during the second republic 1979-1983.
Franca Afegbua remains a symbol of the participation of the Nigerian woman in partisan politics. She made history as the first woman to be elected a senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria, in 1979.
Afegbua has since diverted much of her attention to beauty and hairdressing which was her original love, but continues to keep a close watch on the nation’s politics.
