The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, Professor ABIODUN OGUNYEMI has advocated the expansion of the Sexual Harassment Bill to the society rather than limit it to lectures in higher institutions.
Professor Ogunyemi made the call during an online meeting put together by the Network of Reproductive Health Journalists Nigeria, NRHJN, to enable experts identify the grey areas in the SHB, break it down and suggest solutions to making it work.
Professor Ogunyemi, said contrary to many people’s belief, lecturers are not against the bill but only want its scope to be widened since sexual harassment occurs in various segments of the society.
Professor Ogunyemi added that the law alone cannot change the situation but will also require a general and behavioral change.
