The University of Lagos has set up a task force to address issues of sexual harassment with a view to stemming it, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
The university’s Principal Assistant Registrar for Communication, Mrs Taiwo Oloyede, said in a statement that it was “in continuation of the institution’s unrelenting campaign against the menace of sexual harassment and other forms of inappropriate behaviours”. The institution recently suspended two senior lecturers exposed in alleged sexual harassment in a BBC investigative documentary video.The statement added, “The task force has the mandate to examine the extant University of Lagos policy on sexual harassment, receive complaints from faculties, departments and other units concerning matters that border on sexual harassment.
“It is to also receive oral and written testimonies from staff and students involved in cases of sexual harassment and recommend appropriate sanction for offenders. “The task force, in addition to other functions, will put forward counselling and other therapies for mitigating the adverse effects of sexual harassment on victims and carry out other duties aimed at eradicating the ugly trend from the institution.”
UnilagNigeria Optics. They should just enforce the prescribed penalties & take victims' petitions seriously

That BBC’s sting operation in UNILAG | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World NewsSexual harassment occurs under the nose of the BBC, in Britain, where a damning report by The Guardian (UK) quotes a partner in a law firm to say that, “sexual harassment of students by staff members has reached epidemic levels in British universities.' That sexual harassment happens in BBC and UK Universities as well is no reason to excuse or even tolerate what was revealed about sexual misconduct in Ghana and Nigerian universities by BBC. We must own it and correct the situation and do better. This is a robust response! It is trite to say that 'Judases' exist in every human society. However it is unfair for the BBC to paint with a broad brush in its failed attempt to bring to disrepute the hard earned reputation of a citadel of academic excellence. whataboutery. Now we are whole. Ndi ara!

BBC’s crafty ‘sex-for-grade’ expo | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News“Freedom of Information requests sent to 120 universities found that students made at least 169 such allegations against academic and non-academic staff from 2011-12 to 2016-17.” Nigeria This is what I called 'simulated sexual harassment'. I think Unilag should request for the full transcript of video no edited video. This would unravel the roles played by the actors. Specifically, if the lecturer enticed the lecturer which prompted him to act in demeaning way.
