Bayero University is located in the northern region of the country, which is a Muslim-dominated society where the level of disparity between the male and female genders is high. Hence, this study examined female student participation in recreational activities. Data were obtained through questionnaire administration on female students. Information obtained from the center of information technology revealed 9,685 registered female students across 11 faculties. A total of 291 respondents were selected for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that recreation facilities are abundantly provided in the University, and most students are aware of their existence. The study further revealed that female students participate less in sporting activities except for jogging, walking, listening to music, and reading. The reason why female students participate in recreation includes: Getting exercise (SPI = 4.41), Keep physically fit (SPI = 4.39), Educational/research (SPI = 4.38), Improving physical, and emotional health (SPI = 4.29), Developing skill/ability (SPI = 4.08), Boredom (SPI = 3.99), and Minimize stress (SPI = 3.77). Based on further findings, the factors influencing female student participation in recreation include facility safety (accounting for 47% variance) and demographics (accounting for 44.2% variance).

“…The students of Olabisi Onabanjo University appear not to have shown demonstrable interest in sports leisure activities despite the availability of some recreational facilities on the University premises. Agbabaika et al (2020) observed that some Nigerian universities' students will not engage in leisure activities even when they are brought to their doorstep and similarly discovered that undergraduates are hardly involved in several leisure activities in their free interval. Several studies have been carried out in the area of leisure activities but few on the psychodemographic factors influencing leisure activities among Olabisi Onabanjo University Students.…”
