...Tasks Varsity Authority On Justice

The Governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has saluted Miss Monica Osagie, for her courage in the ongoing investigation of the alleged sexual harassment by one Professor Richard Akindele, in a sex-for-marks scandal.

Obaseki said, “Miss Osagie’s uncommon bravery at a time many female students have come to accept sexual harassment as a norm in our educational institutions, is worth commending.”

The governor urged the university authority to ensure painstaking and thorough investigation of Osagie’s allegation and serve justice without fear or favour.

“Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) ranks high in moral standard and educational excellence in the country and I urge the university authority to rise to the occasion and defend its hard-earned reputation. Justice should not only be done, but must be seen to have been done,” he said.

“The world is watching the university closely, to see the way the case will be handled and my administration is equally interested in the matter, as Osagie hails from Ohordua, Esan South East Local Government of Edo State. Our institutions of higher learning must appreciate that it is a privilege to be saddled with the task of moulding the minds of young ones, to whom the future belongs,” the governor added.

He urged students at all levels of learning “to give knowledge acquisition their best shot, commit quality time to research and put forward, ideas and models that can solve the nation’s developmental problems.”

Osagie, a student in the Masters of Business programme, told an investigative panel set up by the university that the disgraced Professor Richard Akindele deliberately failed her because she refused his sexual demand. She said she did not score 33 per cent as the lecturer claimed, but was failed so that she could bow to his sexual demand.

Her testimony followed the release of a recorded telephone conversation, which went viral, in which the lecturer identified as Akindele, demanded five rounds of sex to enhance her marks.

Prof. Akindele has since been suspended by the university authority after the report of the university’s investigative committee indicted him.

The committee said that Akindele’s suspension followed its observation “that a prima facie case of inappropriate relationship with the female student was established.”

Obaseki called on students to emulate Monica Osagie by becoming voices against all forms of harassments and oppression in the nation’s ivory towers.

NOT JUST THE GOVERNOR ....

Kai!!! Na so Prof' career use end ooo..........

Seriously this sex for mark issue especially in public universities should be discouraged vehemently, erring lectures from now on should be sacked, no student would ask for free mark from a lecturer if she has not heard from other students that it's possible hence the sex for mark.

I applaud her courage

nice one from my governor...this is the best support one can get.


this will make the girl more bold......and put OAU on hotspot

ladies need to start reporting this case to higher authority to prevent future occurrence and pressure the house of assembly raise a bill on this menace

Monica Lewinsky............. But this nonsense is rampant in Polytechnics since na there majority of empty-handed come-and-do slay girls dey.

State Support for Monica

Oga governor shut up!

You sef dey fucck innocent corpers for govt house before u giv dem job. Gerout!

We don hear sir

This issue of harassment is vice versa. I could remember having a lecture then, so there was this lady sitting at the front roll with her boobs so revealing like they wanna jump out. She was embarrassed by the lecturer on the day. The lecturer said,' stand up, what is this that you are wearing. You think your boobs are fine abi. I can call you my wife, she has better boobs that yours. I mean boobs that are standing firm not these your low self-esteem boobs. Next time don't wear this my class. Awon omo radarada'. Na so we just dey laugh for back of the class wey we sidon.

Very good.

Good support. Not often you see leaders in government doing humanitarian things.. unless it's electioneering season.

Five rounds of sex? . Let's hear from Prof.

In addition, it's only Igbos that have the Boldness & Courage to stand against evil, just as my igbo sister above did. And now, we are out to let the World know the evil in Nigeria. Meanwhile, zombies keep languishing in their spirit. Imagine, sex for mark Prof. make i laugh small.
