Abstract
The study examines gender issues in urban governance in Nigeria, with Ogun State as case study. Data on the level of involvement of women in both governmental and non-governmental sides of urban governance were obtained from both primary and secondary sources and descriptively and inferentially analysed. It was discovered that women are seriously marginalized on both sides with very low participation rate compared with their male counterparts. Likely negative effects of this trend on effective urban governance were pointed out to include endemic poverty and its other consequences, such as poor access to education, health and other socio-economic benefits.
