ABSTRACT
Globally, the strive for sustainable development in all ramifications is on the front banner because it is sine qua non for the overall development and improvement of the lives of the people but the issue has both the exclusion of women from the scheme of things which perhaps explains the monumental loss and failures associated with sustainable development plans in developing nations. There is the need to ascertain the impact of the exclusion of women in the social, political, economic and other spheres of human endeavour. This paper argues that the non-inclusion of women (particularly the vulnerable market women) account partly for the failure of sustainable environmental and development programs in Nigeria. The contention of this paper is that the valuable potentials and commitments of the market and other vulnerable women will enhance Nigeria’s quest for sustainable environmental development. The content analysis methodology was adopted whereby existing data and publications on the phenomenon being discussed were extensively reviewed. The population of the study were women who have businesses in 8 major markets in Benin Metropolis and the systematic and cluster sampling method were utilized in administrating the questionnaire on the 450 research participants. The date were analyzed with SPSS and inferential statistics. The results of the analysis shows that the exclusions of women as active participants and the government dispositions of treating women as passive onlookers rather active members of development plans accounts for the failure of sustainable plans in Benin Metropolis and in Nigeria. The study proffers some feasible panacea for the way forward in attaining gender balance and inclusiveness in sustainable development in all ramifications including the policy and development implication of the study.
