Tags



President Muhammadu Buhari today said that stricter laws are needed to prevent girls from being abused in Nigerian Schools directing the law enforcement agencies to prosecute all offenders.

The President’s order came as a reaction to the recent high profile revelation of sexual abuse cases in institutions of higher learning in the country, which has been circulating in the media.


President Buhari in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said that he was glad that the incident, exposed through under-cover news reporting at the University of Lagos, has spurred an amendment to our laws regarding the issue in the National Assembly.
