Great move from DSP

stagger:


Why only tertiary institutions? What of banks that force female staff to sleep around for cash deposits to meet targets? What of sex for recruitments in government parastatals, military and paramilitary agencies? What of sex for roles in Nollywood?

Sex for jobs should also be criminalized especially within government. However an employee victimized can quit and find a new job without their future being adversely affected. A student however can be severely affected by being failed severally by randy lecturers for the rest of their lives. Some are even delayed in school all because of sex for 4-8yrs!

All those Empty Headed Olosho girls who depends on Sex for marks to graduate are now in bad market

Same goes to the useless lecturers from Hell.

Calm down now, why ur body dey hot? Are u a victim? If yes, pls tell us more. Who's your daddy? Is he a chairman or an Alhaji?

All state governors must ensure that this act is absolutely a crime in their domain especially when it comes to their citizens. Whether in a federal uni or state.

No federal employee should be allowed to commit crimes within their state and go free. Prosecution should be effected immediately and justice done swiftly. We should not joke with the education of our children and the future generations or we are doomed.

Subsequent to the BBC sex for grade documentary indicting university professors of sexually molesting their students, the Sexual Harassment Bill, 2019 (SB. 77) sponsored by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has been read for the First Time on the floor of the Senate.

According to the Deputy Senate President, “I am wholly convinced that the unique student-educator relationship of authority, dependency and trust should never be violated.

By the maxim of ‘loco parentis’, educators are like parents. They owe a special fiduciary duty of care to students under their authority - students who trust and depend on them to shape their future career paths. It must therefore be extremely offensive to a reasonable mind where an educator treats students as ‘perquisites’ of his office. As a father, it is an issue that I cannot just accept. It is a shame on our conscience as a people. We will stop it. ...”

The Prevention, Prohibition And Redressal of Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Educational Institutions Bill, 2019 which is co-sponsored by 106 other senators specifically makes it a criminal offence for any educator in a university, polytechnic or any other tertiary educational institution to violate or exploit the student-lecturer fiduciary relationship for sexual pleasures.

The Bill imposes stiff penalties on offenders in it's overall objective of providing tighter statutory protection for students against sexual hostility and all forms of sexual harassment in tertiary schools.

The Bill provides a compulsory five-year jail term for lecturers who sexually harass students. When passed into law, vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and other chief executives of institutions of higher learning will go to jail for two years if they fail to act within a week on complaints of sexual harassment made by students.


The Bill expressly allows sexually harassed students, their parents, or guardians to seek civil remedies in damages against sexual predator lecturers before or after their successful criminal prosecution by the State.

The Bill also seeks protection from sexual harassment for prospective students seeking admissions into higher educational institutions, students of generally low mental capacity and physically challenged students.

The Bill also stipulates as offences solicitation of sex or sexual advances by lecturers which result to intimidation, hostile or offensive environment for students. It makes provision for “institutional disciplinary procedures” to be followed by any sexually harassed student to report or submit a formal sexual harassment complaint within a tertiary institution to the administrative head of the institution. Administrative heads of tertiary academic institutions are mandated under the bill to protect students who made sexual harassment complaints from any form of victimisation in their learning.

Senator Omo-Agege believes that students, regardless of age are incapable of giving voluntary consent to unwelcomed sexual advances or demands for sexual favours by lecturers in any student-lecturer fiduciary relationship. A lecturer occupies a position of huge public trust in a student-lecturer fiduciary relationship. That relationship is a delicate one. We know of students with strong character who reject demand for sexual favours and are punished by making them fail in exams that they ordinarily passed. That should never happen. Senator Omo-Agege believes strongly that as parents, legislators owe our children a solemn duty to pass very tough and clear laws to protect our children against sexual perverts masquerading as teachers.

. The major defect of this bill is that it is limited to academic institutions.It should go beyond schools.Sexual harassment is in ministries hospitals. local governments and in all private and public establishments even among politicians.The bill should cover every place including families....I advise Omo Agege to make it a broad bill.

Nigeria: passing laws they dont enforce since 1960

LUGBE:
Even him, eye service.

We have a long way to go in this country, laws are so many but are for the poor.

That case of benue lecturer with his son that led to the death of that minor last year, how far.

All rape cases, who have the court convicted.

In another hand, some female students are always the cause,i can remember those days in school they frequent lecturers office without dressing responsible.

Some will know they did not write well in exams, they will go to beg for Mark ,he will also be forced to beg you for what he wants from you or gives you condition.

We all really need exemplary change not the Apc type.

For posterity's sake sir please erase what you wrote here

We are all pretending like we don't know that students throw themselves at lecturers too. Who is addressing this issue too? Is there a law protecting lecturers rights too?

Fg should first deal with the issue of ASUU & asup strike before looking into sex for marks issue..pot calling kettle black

Johnsghana:

The lecturers can report to the school authorities with proof and the student will be dismissed. The lecturer if he cares about his career and the students under his care will not give such stupid excuses. If they poison food and give you, will you eat it? It’s all a choice for the lecturers but when the reverse is the case it’s is forced against the students will. This is a crime!

This bill will need to be redrafted. That means, any girl that cries alleged sexual harrasement can send any VC to jail, within a week of her crying out, essentially sending a whole higher institution into chaos and sending VCs and lecturers running helter skelter. Remember #metoo movement, many innocent lecturers will fall victim of this and many girls will misuse it

They won't pass that bill.

THIS BILL SHOULD GO INTO FULL IMPLEMENTATION BY WAY OF SETTING UP THE NECESSARY STATUTORY LAWS TO PUNISH ERRING OR RANDY LECTURERS AND TO ALSO SERVE AS A DETERRENT TO OTHERS IN HIGHER INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA.

Many students have been victimized and abused by lecturers.

Kudos to the BBC documentary for the good job done.

Kudos to Senator Ovie Omo Agege who has been in the forefront in putting the necessary legislation to get the bill action into law.

This sex for grades issues is really weighing down the quality of education in Nigeria, Ghana and the rest of Africa.

Hahahaha haha! Joke. Truth be told. Can a girl who knows she knows nothing and wrote nothing down carry out legal action against a lecturer that wants sex for grade? Don’t worry, you do not have to answer.

90% girls does not even want this bill cos it will affect their easy way of graduating. Who cares about school? Na scam na, according to them. Only the few 10% that are serious will take it serious and it won’t even benefit them cos they know book normally. So to me, omo-Agege should pass a bill to stop police and sars snooping into people’s mobile phones. That’s a more serious matter abeg.

yaki84:
Plenty bills passed, implementation ZERO!

They also forget ASUU get strong union, once their member is affected, they will strike till govt succumb.

Since gej passed anti gay bill to law, we now have plenty bobrisky getting endorsement from the same organisations thatsuppose to arrest or sanction these retards.

Abegii

Lecturers had been disciplined, prosecuted and even terminated in the past, can you cite a single instance, when ASUU has embarked on a Strike on account of any of those incidence?

ASUU is a professional body and would not want to see itself impending a criminal procedure, especially, when all the facts are not known to them, except the one sided account that might have been given to them by their fellow Lecturer.

9th Assembly seems to be super proactive oo, sharp sharp, them done draft the bill.. this urhobo man might end up being the best Deputy Senate President ever....

I know Ekweramadu wouldnt have given two fvcks even if 20 students get gang raped in front of thier school gates, so long he gets his fat allowance


...

That bill was started by 8th Senate. Except the modified the name and made it look like 9th assembly did it. Saraki even made reference to it and urge the 9th assembly to do some thing about it by passing it into law.

well coming up with a full bill in just two days seems magical, but this explains it, the DSP merely re introduced it

when e be say na lecturer gbam bill has been passed. if na dem na 20years we go dey wait for bill.

This is a clean move to sweep the feet of the sexual pervert

Mmmm.

Please pass bill for public officers collecting bribes.

YOU HAVE SOME POINTS HERE!

But the good thing is that it should start with the school that is the higher institutions.

That is where the female students who are vulnerable to sexual molestation are in bulk.

The lecturers use academic power to muscle them to submission directly and indirectly.

Some of this lecturers even have so called GOOD BOY who are male student that do their GAME PLAN for them to get the female student to submission and the male student is rewarded with good academic grades.

Undercover journalism!

Carry go!

Why only tertiary institutions? What of banks that force female staff to sleep around for cash deposits to meet targets? What of sex for recruitments in government parastatals, military and paramilitary agencies? What of sex for roles in Nollywood?

Randy lecturers are well known to everybody in the departments and faculty. As a student, when I was in school there are lecturers you cannot accuse of sexually predating girls because nobody will believe you,they will always be safe because no female student can't blackmail them, nobody will believe them, their students can vouch for them anytime anyday but there are lecturers that everybody in the dept. as he-goats.
Sex for marks is not a hidden phenomenon in every dept. It all boils down to integrity and it only takes one case for a lecturer to lose all his integrity.

Just go to any university and ask around for the crooks, the students will point you in the right direction and they are always right. Same way they pointed towards Dr Boniface, before he was investigated and caught.

Sexual harassment laws should be inclusive of every workplace, not just tertiary institutions.

A sexual relationship between a lecturer and his/her student should be viewed as professional misconduct, and should be handled by the school authorities.

A five-year jail term for sexual harassment is too harsh. Sexual harassment is not as severe as rape. A prison sentence of six months, with an option of fine, is appropriate.

Nksleek:
When passed into law, vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and other chief executives of institutions of higher learning will go to jail for two years if they fail to act within a week on complaints of sexual harassment made by students.

This part should not be included at all. Criminal investigations are the job of the police and the Ministry of Justice (state and federal). Those who work in these institutions do not have jail term threats for not acting within a week after a complaint has been lodged.

Imagine if there are five hundred sexual harassment complaints within a space of five days; and the chief executive of the institution must act on each and every complaint or face jail term! What if some complaints do not get to the vice chancellor's desk within a week?

The bill, if passed as it is stated, will only encourage brain drain.

Nksleek:

The age of consent is 18 years. Being a student from the age of 18 years does not turn him/her into a minor. However, the lecturer could still be liable for professional misconduct.

Thank God our lawmakers are getting to wake up to their responsibilities. Though might be reactionary and not proactive, but its never too late to take a stand on the sex harassment issue.

It is rape to force any one to sleep with you under threat which is usually the case. You better know that now, and it is a criminal case!

Don’t mind him, brain drain indeed. That is how one professor went abroad and did the same thing. Only to be charged to court and he’s on the run from the US. A lion cannot become a sheep in a new environment. It’s even better if the brain is drained so they can go to a country where they will be jailed and raped in prison for at least 10yrs.
