Subsequent to the BBC sex for grade documentary indicting university professors of sexually molesting their students, the Sexual Harassment Bill, 2019 (SB. 77) sponsored by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has been read for the First Time on the floor of the Senate.
According to the Deputy Senate President, “I am wholly convinced that the unique student-educato
By the maxim of ‘loco parentis’, educators are like parents. They owe a special fiduciary duty of care to students under their authority - students who trust and depend on them to shape their future career paths. It must therefore be extremely offensive to a reasonable mind where an educator treats students as ‘perquisites’ of his office. As a father, it is an issue that I cannot just accept. It is a shame on our conscience as a people. We will stop it. ...”

The Bill imposes stiff penalties on offenders in it's overall objective of providing tighter statutory protection for students against sexual hostility and all forms of sexual harassment in tertiary schools.
The Bill provides a compulsory five-year jail term for lecturers who sexually harass students. When passed into law, vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and other chief executives of institutions of higher learning will go to jail for two years if they fail to act within a week on complaints
