By the maxim of loco parentis educators are like parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey owe a special fiduciary duty of care to students under their authority \u2013 students who trust and depend on them to shape their future career paths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must therefore be extremely offensive to a reasonable mind where an educator treats students as \u2018perquisites\u2019 of his office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a father, it is an issue that I cannot just accept. It is a shame on our conscience as a people. We will stop it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2016, with the support of several colleagues in the Senate, I tabled the Bill on the Prohibition of Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions which provides for a five-year jail term or a fine of N5 million for any lecturer convicted for sexually harassing male or female students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill also criminalised any act of neglect or failure by administrative heads of tertiary institutions to address complaints of sexual harassment within a specified period, Omo-Agege said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also: \u2018It\u2019s all in the past now\u2019 Omo-Agege on what transpired in the 8th Senate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also made provisions to adequately punish anyone found to have levelled false allegations of harassment against lecturers and educators,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI deeply appreciate the Academic Staff Union of Universities\u2019 (ASUU) decisive change of position on this issue which they opposed three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody\u2019s daughter deserves to be treated as \u2018fringe benefit\u2019 for anyone in position of trust and responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ovie Omo-Agege Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege has said that nobody\u2019s daughter deserves to be treated as \u2018fringe benefit\u2019 for anyone in position of trust and responsibility.
