Gender and the profession of architecture in Nigeria were the subjects of this study. The gender gap in the architectural profession, particularly in terms of membership, certification, experience, project types, and work schedule, was briefly examined. Using a structured questionnaire, a sample of certified architects from the North Central, South East, and South Western regions of the countries was selected. The findings demonstrated that approximately a quarter of Nigeria's architects were female. It also demonstrated that architects' professional experience is significantly influenced by gender differentiation. On the other hand, gender has little effect on the kinds of projects that architects participate in or the professional services they provide. Despite the fact that female architects can perform many of the same tasks as men, the architectural profession in Nigeria is still heavily dominated by men. As a result, Nigeria's training, employment, and retention of architects must be more gender-inclusive.
