Nigeria is a signatory to numerous international treaties for the protection of women with attendant obligations of making her laws keep track with international legal standards. However, one thing is to subscribe to international legal documents, it’s another to follow through by domesticating, implementing and ensuring their enforcement. This paper focuses on the development of international legal regime for women’s rights and gender equality. The paper observed a wide gap between global standards and customary norms and practices. The paper identifies and highlights the several areas of Nigeria customary law lagging behind international legal standards on gender equality. Having observed a general lack of coherence between principles outlined in global treaties and customary law, the paper suggests ways of ensuring a convergence between global standards and Nigerian customary law.
