The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on Monday disagreed with students of tertiary institutions and women groups on the need to make a separate law to curb sexual harassment in schools.

ASUU National President Professor Abiodun Ogunyemi and the groups made opposing submissions during a public hearing on the “Sexual Harassment of Students in Tertiary Educational Institutions Bill, 2019” at the National Assembly in Abuja.The event was organised by the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, chaired by Opeyemi Bamidele.

Ogunyemi argued that it would amount to “proliferation” and “repetition” of legislations to make a separate law against sexual harassment in tertiary institutions. He said a committee set up by NANS national executive on assumption of office had received over 2,000 complaints of sexual harassment of female students by lecturers.
