Abstract
This article is a critical evaluation and analysis of the disparity between male and female students’ awareness, participation and representation in leadership positions or students’ governance. The analysis is based on a panoramic view of the existing leadership positions among students, especially undergraduate students across some Nigerian public universities. Data collected from the Students Affairs Divisions of the University of Benin, Benin City (UNIBEN), Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma (A. A. U. E) and Delta State University, Abraka (DELSU) show similar constitutionally laid down positions in virtually all the Nigerian Universities. The time covered is between the 1990s to early 2000s as documentation on this was not available from inception to early 1990s.It was discovered that the positions were predominantly male oriented and male dominated and thus constitute 90% of male representation. Much is yet to be achieved in enhancing female representation as this still fluctuates between 10% and 22% in students’ governance. This has left a gap that is yet to be filled as gender equality and equity in campus politics are the only key factors to national development.
