Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 2019 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to the SexForGrades documentary exposing sexual harassment of students by lecturers.

In his reaction, Atiku, condemned sexual harassment of students by lecturers across public tertiary institutions in West Africa.

His reaction followed the publication of a documentary on Monday by BBC Africa Eye exposing sexual harassment of students.

A lecturer in the Faculty of Arts, UNILAG, Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu, was caught on camera trying to force himself on a journalist who posed as a 17-year-old admission seeker.

Another lecturer from the College of Education in Ghana, Dr. Paul Kwame, was also indicted in the documentary.

Reacting to the report on Twitter, Atiku called for “systemic strategies” to help stop such behaviour.

“I have just read the story on #SexForGrades across public tertiary institutions in many West African countries. This is unacceptable, and requires systemic strategies to put a deterrence to such behaviour,” Atiku said.

“As a society, we cannot allow a trend that is psychologically abusive to young women to thrive. In fact, that’s a direct opposite of what a sound educational system represents.”
