Saturday, November 16, 2024 - 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.
