Abstract
With the trend in development of the nation, it is eminent that information technology(IT) plays a vital role in alleviating unemployment, innovations and sustaining socio-economic development. Software development is a key player in the IT sector of the society, which helps in providing solutions to problems faced by the economy. Researches over years have proofed that women are more than men, especially in developing nations. This study focuses on the factors responsible for gender difference in programming. A quantitative research was carried out, data collected using questionnaire, data analysed using statistical tools such as Statistical Packages for Social Sciences(SPSS), and the results were presented using tables and chart. It was observed that the involvement of gender in programmimg has little or nothing to do with the gender status, rather the interest and passion of individuals. It is therefore recommended that educational planners and policy makers in developing nations should introduce measures of building the interest of the students from secondary level.
