SUMMARY
The attainment of effective and efficient employment process in Nigeria, is a collective responsibility of the government and all other stakeholders. This study has shown that there is gender discrimination against women in education, employment, politics, and generally in the society. They remain discriminated against largely because of the societal beliefs and attitudes about them. In spite of the natural and social inequalities paramount in gender stereotyping in Nigeria, education has been found to prepare women to respond positively to more opportunities to challenge traditional values, perpetuating their subordination in various sectors, education inclusive.
It is heartwarming that Millennium 2000 Declaration, has reaffirmed gender equality and women empowerment as part of the developmental goals, and also underlined the importance of women empowerment as a means of achieving all other (MDGS). The Millennium Declaration also calls on States to “promote gender equality and the empowerment of women as effective way to combat poverty, hunger and disease and to stimulate development that is truly sustainable”. Furthermore, Kofi Annan, has in (2006) warned that it is impossible to realize our goals while discriminating against half of the human race. Nigeria government is therefore called upon to be part of global trend towards gender equality. She should demonstrate more sensitivity towards the plight of Nigerian women by implementing most, if not all, the recommendations in this paper. Further researches should however be channeled towards discovering the reasons why most Nigerian women have exhibited and continue to exhibit high level of complacency even in the face of flagrant and persistent violation of their constitutionally guaranteed rights.
