Women’s empowerment is essential in improving maternal health. We analyse the geographical variability of women’s empowerment using data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. Eight indicators of empowerment were created using latent scores derived from factor analysis and used to assign the women into one of low, moderate or high category of empowerment. A geoadditive ordinal model was used to quantify the effects of demographic and geographical factors. The findings indicate that a determinant can have different effects on women’s empowerment indicator and women from majority of the northern states are less empowered based on all the indicators
