Abstract


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 which has imparted cultures and perceptions across societies. More women are going into specializations such as agricultural sciences hitherto regarded as a masculine field, and are performing in outstanding ways in such hitherto regarded as masculine fields. This survey study was carried out in a central Nigerian University as a case study to check the gender differences in university output in the Nigerian agricultural field
