This research investigated the effect of gender equality on economic empowerment, education, health care, and social development in Nigeria. Using a mixed-methods research approach, this research combined quantitative data from a survey of 400 respondents with qualitative imminence from in-depth interviews with 8 prominent personalities. The findings show that gender equality in the positive has impacted education and health care development, while also advancing economic empowerment and social development.
