Studies have revealed gender differences in aspirations, performance, career choices, and specialization. These differences are much so openly glaring in a developing nation like Nigeria. The new millennium has brought about varied technological innovations and changes such as the internet that has imparted cultures and perceptions across societies. More women are going into specialization and careers hitherto regarded as masculine fields, and are performing in outstanding ways This informed the need to explore what the trend is of gender dynamics in higher education in present day Nigeria. . This survey study aimed at   checking the gender differences in university outputs in Nigerian. And it was revealing to note that for areas such as the Arts and Humanities which are areas more females have ventured into in recent times, the males still dominate the graduating list. And for Faculties such as Communication and Information Sciences, the gap gets wider. Nigeria has a higher female population but this has not translated into higher rate of higher education graduation ratio for them and since a nations manpower and its quality outputs determines its developmental rate, there is the urgent need to find measures to accelerate the quality as well as the numbers of the   female folks in higher education.
