Ogun State governor declares ‘war’ on randy lecturers

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, on Thursday, threatened to deal with lecturers harassing students sexually in all the higher institutions of learning in the state.

Abiodun said he would exercise ‘the full weight of the law’ on any lecturer who takes sexual advantage of their students.

He emphasised that his administration would not condone any form of sexual intimidation or other vices in any of Ogun State-owned schools.

Speaking at the 11th convocation ceremony of the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, Gov Abiodun described the much-talked about sexual harassment as a thing of shame, adding that such a thing should not happen in any tertiary institution where discipline is taken seriously.

He, however, commended the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, for the sensitisation and warning publications embarked upon on the pages of national dallies.

He said the zero tolerance of the institution for sexual harassment is a pointer that indiscipline by any staff would not be condoned.

He said “Government notes with pride the sensitisation and warning publication by the vice-chancellor of this great institution.

“This government will not close its eyes to indiscipline and unwholesome attitude on the part of any staff.”

Meanwhile, the governor announced an automatic employment for the overall best graduating student in the College of Vocational and Technical Education, Bolatito Matthew Olatunde.

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side.

Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said.
