The plight of women, in terms of education is further compounded by the negative attitude of parents toward female education. Some parents are usually reluctant to send their girl child for formal education especially to higher levels like their male counterpart. The writer examined factors motivating female adult learners’ enrolment in Nigeria tertiary institution. The purpose of the study was to examine the concept of tertiary education in Nigeria, assess women education, find out the rate of enrolment between male and female students and highlight the problems facing tertiary institutions considering enrolment of female adult learners in Nigeria. Research questions were formulated for the study and the instrument used for the study was questionnaire. One hundred respondents comprising of female adult learners were randomly selected from Lagos State University in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State for data collection. Data were analyzed using frequency tables, percentages and Chi-square. It was suggested in the paper that for optimal national development, women who are the first teachers in the family set up should be provided with adequate and functional education (or literacy) . It was argued that provision of functional education to the women folk would enable them to make additional contributions towards public life, social, economic, and moral development of the family and by extension the nation.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Motivation, female education, adult learners, enrolment. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [saula5050@yahoo.com.

An educated man or woman understands his or her world well enough to deal with it effectively. Such men or women if they existed in sufficient numbers would not leave the absurdities of the present world unchanged. In the opinion of Edukugho (2002) cited in Imogie (2002), the prosperity of a country depends not on the abundance of its revenue, nor the strength of its fortifications, but on the number of its cultivated citizens, men and women of education, enlightenment and character.  \nThe Federal Government of Nigeria has adopted education as an instrument per excellence for effecting  \nnational development (NPE, 1998) . The implication is that government realizes the importance of education as a veritable tool for national development. Thus, the policy guidance of the NPE asserts that:  \nEducation will continue to be highly rated in the national development plans, because education is the most important instrument of change, as any fundamental change in the intellectual social outlook of any society has to be preceded by an educational revolution (NPE, 1998:8) .  \nSpecifically, the national policy on women section 6.1.3 submits that:  \nFor (the) Nigerian women to enjoy the full benefits of contemporary living, they require basic education to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country. Government shall in this regard increase girls and women’s participation in education irrespective of their location and circumstances (p. 17) .  \nIt can be said therefore that the main focus of government education agenda is to bring about optimal development of its human resources, which, put in another word, is a viable source of human capital.
