The Senate on Wednesday revisited the sexual harassment bill which was sponsored by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and passed by the 8th Senate.
According to the bill, an educator will be “guilty of committing an offence of sexual harassment against a student if he/she has sexual intercourse with a student who is less than 18 years of age; has sexual intercourse with a student or demands sex from a student or a prospective student as a condition to study in an institution, or as a condition to the giving of a passing grade or the granting of honour and scholarships.
The bill, however, suffered a major setback as it was not given Presidential assent after its passage by the 8th Senate.
Jobless rubberstamp
In welcoming the introduction of this Bill I do want to Hope & Believe that the timing of its 1st Reading and that of BBCWorld kikimordi SexForGrades documentary is not a Problem - Reaction - Solution (PRS) Scheme? Hoping OvieOmoAgege is not aiding some globalists agenda?
Na now day break abi
Sigh. We hope to something tangible come out of this 🤐
The Senate needs to do a serious work on this bill. The age stated for the offender to be held culpable is below 18years. What happens to those above 18 still in school but suffer sexual harassement?
the randy men in NASS won't support this.
