Abstract This study was carried out in a Private Christian Mission University in Nigeria to find out the current position of male-female performance in higher education. Moreover, it finds out whether there is gender difference in the performance of students in natural, humanity, business and social sciences between 2008 and 2010. It employed descriptive approach in analyzing data collected. However, our results show that there is a shift in the long standing male-female performance in higher education within the period of study. Thus, female students emerged as the best students in the overall result between 2009 and 2010. Secondly, they emerged as the best students in the existing three colleges. Thirdly, they emerged as the best students at departmental level in 2008 and 2010. Fourthly, they have highest number of first class and second class upper degrees. Finally, there is gender difference in the performance of students in natural and social, business and humanity programmes. Therefore, female students performed excellently in social, business and humanity programmes than their male colleagues while males did well in natural sciences than their female counterparts.
