A contributor in a radio programme identified as Professor Okwechime Emmanuel of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) has said that there are female students who dress half nude to class because they want to obtain Sexually Transmitted Degree (STD).

Prof Emmanuel who spoke in a radio interview on Nigeria Info 99.3 FM attributed this as the possible cause of the widespread Sex-for-Grade in Nigerian tertiary institutions, according to a report published in VANGUARD online.

Reacting to the trending BBC Africa Eye documentary video which revealed sensual advances made by university lecturers, Emmanuel said, “First and foremost, the ancient hyping of sexual corruption (Sex-for-Grade) is just want of BC’s (Broadcasters) and people not being serious. Sexual harassment is being seen from one angle.

“Is it not possible that even the lecturers are being (sensually) harassed by the girls by the way they dress?

“Essentially you will see girls who are half nude come to class who want to obtain what we call STD – sexually transmitted degree.

“They want to get their degree by sexual intercourse and when you as a lecturer refuse to oblige them, they go and blackmail you.

“How do you reconcile that a girl comes to your office in a very transparent dress with their breast shooting out almost seeing what is inside.

“At the end you discover that you’re trust otherwise to do their bidding.”

Meanwhile, the embattled University of Lagos (UNILAG) sex for grade lecturer, Dr Boniface Igbeneghu, has said that he would speak at the right time, saying he would not be pressured to speak on the issue.

A BBC documentary, BBC Africa Eye had revealed a senior lecturer, Dr Boniface Igbeneghu, and former sub-dean in the Faculty of Art, University of Lagos, Akoka (UNILAG) made sensual advances towards an ‘assumed 17-year-old girl’ seeking admission in the prestigious university.
