Abstract: This study was carried out on ‘Female Entrepreneurship: A Driver of Socio-Economic Activities’. It is the desire of every nation to be economically vibrant, not just to meet the needs of its citizens but to also be exporter of knowledge (services), technologies and other products. However, achieving these desires has been a challenge to many nations, especially the African context. In no doubt, there are many different ways a nation can achieve the aforementioned. One of such notable ways is through entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial activities on the other hand, despite its importance and role in the improvement of economic conditions of nations, many nations have failed to provide that needed atmosphere to drive it. Furthermore, an aspect of entrepreneurial activity that has suffered so many setbacks in past decades is female-entrepreneurship. Following the crude notion held by people, especially in developing countries about females owning and carrying out businesses just like their male counterpart, from time immemorial until some past decades, really affected the number of women in business, which in turn, also affected their impact on the economy. Furthermore, lack of favourable environment in the form of laws, technical know-how among others, also constituted obstacle. The economic value of female entrepreneurship has been revealed by the current study and recommendation for some key factors that will provide the pace for female entrepreneurship.
