Abstract: Education is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. Yet millions of children and adults remain deprived of educational opportunities... In Nigeria, Section 14 subsection (2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria states that "the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government." While section 18 subsection (1) states that "Government shall direct its policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate educational opportunities at all levels." Gender equality is a global priority for UNESCO. Gender inequality in education affects both girls and boys, and women and men, but girls and women are still more often disadvantaged. Poverty, geographical isolation, minority status, disability, early marriage and pregnancy, gender-based violence, and traditional attitudes about the status and role of women, are among the many obstacles that stand in the way of women and girls' fully exercising their right to participate in, complete and benefit from education2 in Africa, especially Nigeria.
