President Muhammadu Buhari says more steps
should be taken to prevent sexual harassment.
In a statement on Friday, Garba
Shehu, presidential spokesman, said Buhari is happy that the video documentary
released by the BBC Africa Eye exposed some lecturers in the University of
Lagos.
After the documentary was
released, the national assembly reintroduced the sexual harassment prohibition
bill.
Buhari said his administration
will support the bill as long as it is in line with the constitution.
The president urged victims of
sexual abuse to report cases whenever they occur.
He said survivors and their
families should prevent covering up such acts.
“Survivors and their families
must avoid cover up. They should be encouraged to come forth and report cases
of abuses wherever and whenever they occur,” he said.
The University of Lagos has
suspended two of its lecturers exposed in the documentary.
