In wake of the documentary released by BBC Africa about university lecturers sexually harassing students for grades titled #sexforgrade, the University of Lagos has vowed to deal with any of its staff involved in the scandal.
Its Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council Dr. Wale Babalakin, said the Council would investigate allegations of sexual harassment against a lecturer exposed by the documentary titled “Sex for Grades”.
He said “I have not seen the BBC report but I got wind of it early this morning. I can say on behalf of our Council that there is zero tolerance for sexual harassment. We will investigate the matter thoroughly and anyone found wanting will face the consequences according to the laws of the University. Students must not be made to suffer for anything and your marks must be directly commensurate to your performance. Any other thing is not scholarly and would not be tolerated”.
