A Lagos-based rights campaigner, Mr Spurgeon Ataene, has described as perennial, incidences of sexual harassment in places of work and institutions of learning.


Ataene disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Lagos.

He called for effective approach to combat the menace.
Ataene said that sexual harassment was one of the major factors debilitating performances in work places, schools, colleges and even the legal profession.

“Also, in schools, no matter the grade level, every student must be decently dressed to avoid unnecessary exposure of the sensuous part of the body,” he said

He noted that the ugly trend persisted due to the fact that society lacked adequate and effective deterrence to deal with it, despite codified legislation.

“Teachers or lecturers in higher institutions of learning take advantage of the opposite sex to award marks indiscriminately and this explains why a first class student graduates, and remains incongruous in job placement.

“In the legal profession, some heads of law firms as well as some heads of the judiciary see their positions as an enticing opportunity to swim in these waters.
