Kogi University dismisses four lecturers for sexu@l misconduct and examination malpractice

Four lecturers of the Federal University, Lokoja have been dismissed on account of examination misconduct and sexual misconduct. The governing council of the university gave the approval at its Second Council Meeting on Thursday, November 14.

Last year, the council ordered an investigation after the lecturers were accused of examination malpractices and sexu@l harassment.

The council, under the leadership of Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, appreciated the university management for following due process in the investigation that followed the allegations of examination misconduct and sexual harassment against the lecturers.

“The council will not tolerate any unethical conduct in the university” and urged the university to quickly process the remaining cases of misconduct pending, especially the one in the Faculty of Science that is trending in the media.

While cautioning staff members and lecturers against all forms of molestation of students, the council said no misconduct would be swept under the carpet.

It also urged the students always to speak out when they are molested.
