摘要：The festering gender inequality and exclusion of women from decision making at different levels of government occasioned by the feminization of their contributions is the bane of Nigeria.s sustainable development quest. For many decades, gender inequality has scarred the country at the detriment of women while their male counterparts are not limited by their gender. Transforming the tradition of gender inequality has the impetus to accelerate Nigeria.s development. With primary and second ary data, this paper examines efforts that should be made by stakeholders to bring the needed change and promote gender mainstreaming which makes the issues of men and women equal concern, and should start fro m the family level and traditional institutions considering the fact that transformation demands effective change. As agents of chan ge and equal partners with their male co unterparts, wo men are inextricably linked with actualization of sustainable development. Proper enforcement of equal status act at all levels is highly encouraged
