The aim of the study is to assess perception of different tribes towards male involvement during pregnancy and labour, the educated, non educated, employed, unemployed and perceived barriers respectively. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed. Self structured questionnaires were used to elicit information. Descriptive statistics were used to present results and hypotheses tested with chi square P≥ 0.05. Majority of the respondents were Yoruba (91%) and they had a good perception. Furthermore, (94%) of the educated had good perception and (57%) employed respondents had a good perception. About, 48.6% of the respondents opined that major barrier to male involvement is lack of adequate infrastructure.
