ADO-EKITI — The Wife of the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji, has vowed to intensify the fight against sexual harassment in tertiary institutions, warning that offenders would be held accountable to protect students and preserve the integrity of higher education.

Oyebanji made the pledge while receiving the management of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joshua Ogunwole, at her office in Ado-Ekiti.

She said sexual harassment must not be treated lightly, stressing that failure to sanction perpetrators could encourage the recurrence of such acts.

The Ekiti First Lady also announced plans to organise a statewide gender summit and embark on advocacy visits to tertiary institutions as part of efforts to deepen awareness and combat gender-based violence.
