Students admit reduction in sexual harassment on campuses ~ Oseyiza Oogbodol
In a recent research study, 78% of Nigerian students confirmed that the End Sexual Harassment and Bribery in Nigerian colleges campaign by Dream Project for Africa has greatly discouraged rape and bribery in their colleges.
91% believe that the campaign could eventually help eradicate sexual harassment, rape and bribery from their colleges, and 98% believe that the eradication of sexual harassment and bribery from Nigerian colleges will boost their careers.
The above was made known by Nelson Oluwabukola Michael, CEO, Dream Project for Africa, while making public the results of the ESHBNC campaign and its follow-up research study.
Speaking further, Michael said it was disheartening that Nigerian school system is fast collapsing based on group finding.
According to him, so many students don’t even sure why they are in school while many final year ones have no clue on how or where to market their degrees but only believe that somebody would help them to secure a job.
“Aside the case of the uncertain future that awaits millions of fresh graduates on yearly basis, sexual harassment and bribery on campuses happen to be another devastating impact on the educational system and individual students,” Michael added.
He noted that “more than 10 other advocacy groups and organisations are currently in partnership with DPA to jointly fight the two ills and eradicate them from the system.
