Afrobeat singer, Seun Anikulapo Kuti has slammed leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, for keeping quiet over the sex-for-grades scandal involving a University of Lagos lecture, Dr. Boniface Igbeneghu.
Kuti lamented ASUU’s silence over the issue of sexual harassment in public territory institutions in the country.
Kuti, who was reacting to the Sex-for-grades documentary released by the BBC Africa Eye on Monday, also slammed the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, for keeping quiet on the government’s position in bringing an end to sexual abuse in institutions of learning.
The series of tweets by Kuti on his personal handle read in part: “ASUU leaders make una no pretend like say una no hear all dis noise about una members accuse of sex for grades in our unis, if na una money struggle now, una go expect both activists and students to rise and fight for una, now d students need una to rise and fight for dem too.
