Abstract	The paper analysed the trend and pattern of gender enrollment in Nigerian Universities between 1989 and 1997. It critically examined the gender disparity in university enrollment generally, as well as among some selected disciplines and the country's Geo-political zones. The analysis revealed that gap existed between female and male in the university enrollment with lower female enrollment in all aspects of the Universities. Specifically there was a wide gap in the sciences and science-based disciplines and also between the Northern and Southern zones with higher female enrollment in the south than the north. The paper made useful suggestions to narrow the gender gap in the university enrollment in the nearest future, which included sustained enlightenment programmers, fine-tuning labor laws and accommodating female under the "educationally disadvantaged'' admission policy being enjoyed by some citizens of the country.
