Photo credit: Legit NigeriaSource: OriginalKogi state polytechnic lecturers sackedThe laws are clear, which we have brought to the fore for the notice of the people, ‘thou shall not sexually harass’. So ignorance can no longer be a defence, now you all know and if anybody does that, the next step is a deterrent with punishnment. If anybody does that, we will punish him and will not sweep it under the carpet.”Once we start punishing people, others will be exposed subsequently, there will be a wall of shame on the Internet for it. It will be there for your friends, children, and spouse to see forever.”For those who cannot control their libido, they will have the law to contend with.

From now, I will personally supervise the removal of beds from offices. The night shift is not meant for sleeping but for people to do their job and leave.”I have also empowered sevicom people to say something. people are groaning from sexual harassment. Now they know that if they talk, there is a listening ear and action would be taken”, he said.Lecturer unjustly sacked wins appeal
