Abstract: This study was carried out to examine the influence of role model factors on women entrepreneurial participation in Kebbi and Sokoto States of Nigeria. Primary data were obtained from a sample of 500 women entrepreneurs via questionnaire and analysed using binary logistic regression. Out of the six factors investigated, only three were found to influence women entrepreneurial participation in agriculture in Kebbi and Sokoto States. These are X1 = “I got influenced by someone to start my business†, X4 = “I received support and guidance when starting my business†, X3 = “I admire people who have succeeded in business†. The other three, namely, X2 =†The person who influenced my decision owns a business†, X5 = “I am of the same sex with the person who influenced my decision†, X6 = “I learnt various skills from the person who influenced my decision†were not found to influence women entrepreneurial participation in Kebbi and Sokoto States. Results showed that X3 and X4 were positively related to women entrepreneurial participation, while X1 has negative correlation with women entrepreneurial participation, whereas, X5, and X6 do not have influence on women entrepreneurial participation. Findings suggest that Government and the policy makers should collaborate with the successful entrepreneurs in Agriculture to help enlightening new interested entrepreneurs who are about to venture into agriculture business to boost their knowledge in the sector which enhance their productivity.
