Inclusive education is a subfield of education that seeks to give equal opportunities to every child to have access to education as a right. The United Nations through the UNESCO has give impetus to the importance of inclusive education through different conventions and treaties that most nations in the world have subscribed too, including Nigeria. The signatories to these treaties has been encouraged by global stakeholders to domesticate and implement the instruments to enable them improve on inclusive education. Irrespective of the importance attached to inclusive education, not much has been done to encourage its development. It therefore requires advocacy to sensitize the stakeholders but the politics associated with the advocacy had been a major drawback. This paper therefore examines the politics associated with the advocacy of inclusive education in Nigeria focusing on its challenges and prospects. The paper anchors on secondary information as it is mainly a qualitative analysis. The paper concludes that inclusive education in Nigeria still face a lot of challenges one of which is the politics associated with advocacy. The paper posits that the prospect of inclusive education in Nigeria is bright considering the various mechanism and instruments on ground. The paper recommends among others, vigorous campaign on inclusive education and also that government should discourage politics surrounding advocacy for inclusive education.
