Ilusanya, Gboyega; Oyebade, Stephen A.Abstract:
Generally gender differences remain one of the greatest unresolved challenges of higher education in African countries and Nigeria in particular. This paper examined gender pattern of the output from Nigerian Universities from 1990-2000 using ex-post facto descriptive research design.

The study found out that females were under-represented among the graduates in all the twelve courses of study categories between 1992-2000.
