“…This buttresses the argument that improved economic status vis‐à‐vis enhanced economic development could foster even greater potential for the development of human capital (UNESCO, 2016). In addition, increased national expenditure on education would possibly enhance girl‐child education (Onyimadu, 2020).…”

“…These studies asserted that the level of inflation in an economy is central to the development of human capital, which education attainment is one of the components. Similarly, percentage share of national expenditure on education has been proved to be vital in enhancing girl-child education (Onyimadu, 2020). While the study basically focuses on Nigeria, the scope of the study is between 1996 and 2020.…”

It is widely recognized that prioritizing female education is the global best investment. This is because the promotion of girls' access to education is essential for increasing women's formal economic opportunities and their participation in public decision‐making in the long term. Thus, understanding the nexus between governance and women empowerment becomes central for developing new thinking and addressing prevailing challenges. The study, therefore, examines the impact of governance effectiveness on school enrolment, primary, female (% gross) in Nigeria between 1996 and 2020, using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration and vector error correction mechanism (VECM) for the assessment of long‐run causality. Results show that governance effectiveness has a significant and positive effect on female primary school enrolment in the long run and in the short run. In addition, findings indicate that there exists bidirectional causality between the effectiveness of governance and female primary school enrolment, suggesting that these indicators are interconnected as they could influence each other. While it is recognized that government policies seem to have failed to redress the norms, societal values, and behaviors that contribute to the perpetuation of inequalities in education enrolment, good governance could further stimulate capacity development, thereby enhancing girl‐child education.
