The objectives of the study are to examine Nigeria's progress to gender equality in the areas of politics and education, evaluate the challenges hindering Nigeria from achieving gender equality and identify measures the government should take in other to make sure that gender equality is achieved in Nigeria by 2030. The study adopts a quantitative research methodology by making use of secondary data sources. These include the in-depth analysis of textbooks, journals, newspapers and internet sources. The findings of this study reveal that the challenges hindering Nigeria from achieving gender equality are the existence of cultural norms, lack of political will and religion. It has also revealed the possibilities of Nigeria to achieve gender equality in the areas of education and politics by 2030. The possibility of achieving gender equality in the area of education is high, due to the gender friendly policies in the educational sectors, but in the area of politics the possibility of achieving gender equality by 2030 is very slim because women in Nigeria are not highly represented in politics. It was recommended that the Nigerian government should ensure that gender friendly policies in every sector are made and implemented this would help foster national stability in the country.
