The University of Calabar have advised new students to report all forms of sexual harassment by staff to the institution’s authority.
This was made known by Prof. Florence Obi, Vice Chancellor at the occasion of the orientation programme organised for the new students.
She said her administration has zero tolerance for gender based violence and cases of sexual harassment.
“My dear students, especially the female ones, I want to charge you to be bold enough to report all forms of sexual harassment that may come from lecturers and staff of this institution.
“Don’t allow anyone to intimidate you on sex for grades. We have set up a strong mechanism to protect students performance; no lecturer can fail a good student.
“For the men, avoid bad gangs that may lead you into cultism; be focused with your studies at all times because this first semester is very short in view of the time lost by the ASUU strike.
“For you to be a complete student of this institution, you must pay your fees and register your courses online. Don’t pay your fees or other registrations to anybody, all payment should be made through the bank,” she said.
