In what seems like a measure to curtail sexual abuse, the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has banned lecturers and students from hugging each other.
PM News reported that the school’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Ndowa Lale, said that illicit relationship between lecturers and students has become an offence. According to him, whoever is found guilty would be punished.
The management of the school noted that any lecturer accused of sexual assault would be assumed guilty until they are proven innocence.
The rule also applies to students who harass lecturers to award them grades for sex; the school said that they would also be punished.
