Sex-for-marks: NANS urges Senate to pass sexual harassment bill


The National Association of Nigerian Students has urged the Senate to “immediately pass into law” the Sexual Harassment Bill in order to curtail the sexual abuses of Nigerian female students.

The NANS President, Chinonso Obasi, disclosed this at a briefing in Abuja, while making reference to the recent sex-for-marks incident at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Osun State.
