Margaret Ekpo (1914–2006) was a Nigerian activist and politician. She was one of the country’s first female politicians and a prominent women’s rights activist. Her work was essential towards the development of civil rights movements across the globe.
She began her career in politics in 1945 when she started to attend meetings with the colonial administrators of the Nigerian city of Aba, arguing against the unfair treatment of indigenous doctors. After WWII, she founded the Market Women Association in Aba, an organisation which aimed to unionise women and protect their worker’s rights, fighting colonial oppression and discrimination. Later, she was very active in civil rights movements as well as in the decolonisation process in Nigeria.

Margaret Ekpo was a Nigerian women's rights activist and social mobilizer who was a pioneering female politician in the country's First Republic and a leading member of a class of traditional Nigerian women activists, many of whom rallied women beyond notions of ethnic solidarity. She played major roles as a grassroot and nationalist politician in the Eastern Nigerian city of Aba, in the era of an hierarchical and male-dominated movement towards independence, with her rise not the least helped by the socialization of women's role into that of helpmates or appendages to the careers of males. Margaret Ekpo's awareness of growing movements for civil rights for women around the world prodded her into demanding the same for the women in her country and to fight the discriminatory and oppressive political and civil role colonialism played in the subjugation of women. She felt that women abroad including those in Britain, were already fighting for civil rights and had more voice in political and civil matters than their counterparts in Nigeria. Margaret Ekpo won a seat to the Eastern Regional House of Assembly in 1961, a position that allowed her to fight for issues affecting women at the time. In particular, there were issues on the progress of women in economic and political matters, especially in the areas of transportation around major roads leading to markets and rural transportation in general. After a military coup ended the First Republic, she took a less prominent approach to politics. In 2001, Calabar Airport was renamed Margaret Ekpo International Airport. A better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected. #sherowednesday #sheroes https://www.instagram.com/p/B21Cevlgkcx/?igshid=4gdcwtmffd04
