University (AAU) Ekpoma, Edo state, has denied any case of sexual harassment or admission racketeering in the institution.
The Vice Chancellor of the varsity, Prof. Ignatius Onimawo made this disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday, stating that the university even engages in monthly prayer sessions to boost the spiritual well-being of the school.
“There has not been any reported case of sexual harassment or admission racketeering in the institution.", he pointed out.“But if there has been any case, it has never been brought to the attention of the school authority".
According to him, admission racketeering had become 'an anathema' in the AAU as the system put in place does not allow such act at all.
“It is the vision of this administration to position the university to be the best state university and one of the best 10 universities in Nigeria...". “We give admission to applicants on merit, and the system is so robust that no staff has the chance to play on the intelligence of any student seeking admission".
“But some of the few cases brought before the authority were promptly dealt with and the staffers involved were sanctioned,’’ he added.
Onimawo further assured the staff and students as well as the host community of the institution’s determination to run an open and transparent administration.
