The Vice Chancellor of the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), Prof Francisca Bassey, has issued a stern warning to lecturers who engage in sexual harassment of students or demand money for grades.
The VC issued the warning while speaking with LEADERSHIP after a Thanksgiving ceremony yesterday at Shalom Ministries, Calabar.
Bassey warned that any lecturer found guilty of such misconduct should be prepared to face the consequences associated with such misconduct.
“I will not spare any man who cannot hold his groins,” the VC reportedly said, emphasising the institution’s commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment.
The VC’s warning comes amid growing concerns about lecturer-student relationships and exploitation in Nigerian universities.
The VC’s stance is seen as a bold move towards addressing these issues and promoting a culture of accountability within the institution.
The university community has welcomed the VC’s warning, with many students and staff members expressing hope that it will lead to a safer and more respectful environment for all.
The VC’s office has confirmed the statement, reiterating the institution’s zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and exploitation.
