The Federal University Lokoja has taken a bold step in addressing sexual misconduct and examination malpractices within its walls. Four lecturers were recently dismissed by the university’s governing council, led by Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, following allegations of sexual harassment and examination misconduct levied against them last year. This decision comes after a thorough investigation, and the council has praised the university management for adhering to due process.
The governing council has made it clear that unethical behavior will not be tolerated within the institution. Ndoma-Egba emphasized that any form of misconduct will be addressed promptly, and urged students to speak out against molestation.
The university is also working to resolve pending cases, particularly one involving the Faculty of Science that has gained media attention.This move sends a strong message that sexual harassment and misconduct will not be swept under the rug. The university’s zero-tolerance policy aims to create a safe and respectful environment for students and staff alike. By taking decisive action, the Federal University Lokoja sets an example for other institutions to follow, promoting accountability and integrity in the educational sector.
