The Governing Council of the Federal University, Lokoja, has approved the dismissal of four lecturers on account of examination misconduct and sexual misconduct.
According to information obtained, the governing council approved it during its second council meeting on Thursday.
This follows the investigation that was conducted last year after the lecturers were accused of sexual harassment and exam malpractice.
Under the direction of Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, the council expressed gratitude to the university administration for conducting the investigation in accordance with due process after the lecturers were accused of sexual harassment and exam misconduct.
Ndoma-Egba said, “The council will not tolerate any unethical conduct in the university” and urged the university to quickly process the remaining cases of misconduct pending, especially the one in the Faculty of Science that is trending in the media.
The council stated that no misbehavior would be tolerated while warning faculty and staff against any kind of student harassment.
Additionally, it exhorted the students to always speak up when they experience harassment.
