The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called for a thorough investigation and appropriate sanction for lecturers indicted in the alleged “Sex for Grades” scandal to sanitise the university system.

ASUU University of Lagos (UNILAG) Branch Chairman, Dr. Dele Ashiru, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos that the union was against all forms of unethical practices, including sexual harassment.

Ashiru was reacting to a viral British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) investigative video which showed some lecturers of Universities of Lagos and Ghana sexually harassing female students.

“As a union, we are against all unethical practices among colleagues, including sexual harassment and even abuse. The development is very disturbing and unfortunate. We have appealed to colleagues to understand that as lecturers, we stand in ‘loco parentis’ (in the place of a parent) to these students and must not be perceived in any way of not being protective” he said.

“We condemn this act of shame in its entirety and want the matter to be thoroughly investigated and appropriate sanction carried out on all those found culpable,” the ASUU Chairman told NAN.

This ASUU call comes after concern Nigerians took to social media to make their voices heard with regards to ASUU's silence on the Sex For Grades trends transversing between lecturers and students in the various universities in Nigeria and Africa shortly after BBC released a video which implicated a suspended Unilag lecturer Professor Boniface Igbeneghu.

Kiki give us more names!

ASUU, i support this motion

Abeg come FUOYE oo

Good morning ASUU

Na today??

Who are ASUU?

Greedy Randy Lecturers that are only interested in salary increment

During my university days,it was nothing to write home about

You keep wondering whether these men have daughters at all

They coerce all the dept female students to dance to their demands,some will even sex them in their office or even tell the female students to book hotels while the guys will pay in cash

Shameless idiots!

Is one of the things that put me off not to become a lecturer because my conscience will always prick me

Hahahahah.... I laugh in korean... imagine ASUU investigating what has already been investigated

An apple doesn't fall far from its tree.... Its always easier to tell, when you see a useless association/ union that fights a deceptive fight.

A union that claims to represent the university, lecturers and its students are being called out before they can condemn a disgraceful act, tells a lot about the union itself.


They are all the same and I won't be surprised if nothing is being done by them on this issue after today.

let truth prevail

ASUU finally find its voice. I dont blame them. 90 Percent of ASUU engage in the "cold room" thing

ASUU now wants to investigate what has been investigated...

Spits

80-85% of lecturers in Nigeria are guilty of this!

ASUU is one of the most corrupt unions in Nigeria. Only ignorant people support them when they go on strike.

All these space Booker's that didn't type anything but commented before me... God will judge you

May almighty thunder visit every member of ASUU and SSANU, that has ever harassed and had sex with any lady for the purpose of grades, whether willingly or not, useless bunch of unfortunate bastards, karma will surly Bleep all of you in the ass.

To be honest. I don't know why ugly girls always pose as a treat to men. The lecturers who engaged this reporter for sex for grade is a very low brutish men. Men fear ugly girl. Me looking at the reporter. She even wear pampers for stomach

Professors are useless in Nigeria. How do I know? The same VCs are those politicians use in rigging & announcing election results only for ASUU to be crying later & issuing empty threats of strikes & what have u. Isn't it funny how d so called smart & educated Nigerians have a dead brain as their president. Look at all our governors they are interested in get quick revenue & non think towards inovation & future plans for d unborn generation.

Nigeria is a backward country yes but did Nigeria or d president stopped d governor of a state from transforming even d smallest local government to Dubai?

Sorry guys for d off topic points.

Dis is my last official post on NL. There's beautiful life outside internet. Bye

I may still be reading comments if time permits. Love ur neighbors

The Cold Room Entrepreneurs...

Very good development in this case.
With the video evidence Pastor lecturer Boniface is guilty as charged tho.
Just seeing him smirking his lips on the video make us wanna knock his mouth with a sledgehammer.

He will be diagraced by men on earth and be punished by God in heaven for mocking his name on the pulpit every sunday.

A shame to fatherhood.
We wonder what his children will be going through now.

ASUS rises from the dead.. Bloody hypocrite acting like they don't know this shit_been going on for ages

Prof Rahman, Prof aluko, Prof obafemi....the list goes on...all OAU

Lmao

Evaromantik1:
Instead of condemning SexForGrades, you're suing for investigation.

Una no see the video?

I tire for Naija o.

You didn't read did you?

Would ASUU deny prior knowledge of this Sex for Grade or Money for Grade shit happening in our University? ASUU had to wait for BBC to air a documentary before calling for investigation, maybe they're saying this for the sake of it. Most University management know the lecturers that are involved in this stupid act but they overlook because they are all part of the system. After today nothing will happen concerning this investigation shit.



Make ASUU go sidon abegiii

How deep is in-depth?
