The University of Lagos, UNILAG, has withdrawn a controversial counselling publication by its Student Affairs Division and reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy on sexual harassment and victim-blaming.
The withdrawal followed public outrage after an image of the publication circulated widely on social media on Monday.
Recall that there had been reports of sexual harassment in the school, with a recent event in April of a 20-year-old undergraduate of the University of Lagos, who narrated before a Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja how a 53-year-old lecturer, Samuel Ojogbo, allegedly assaulted her in his office at the institution’s Akoka campus.
The student, who testified as the first prosecution witness before Justice Oyindamola Ogala, gave a detailed account of the alleged incident while being led in evidence-in-chief by the prosecution counsel, A. O. Azeez.
