The management of the University of Nigeria (UNN) has suspended Professor Mfonobong David Udoudom, a lecturer in the General Studies Programme (GSP) Unit of the university, where he teaches Peace and Conflict Resolution and Nigerian People’s and Culture, who was caught in a video allegedly harassing a female student.
The lecturer was caught in his office pants down on Monday, April 22, 2024, with a female student who is a married woman.
Acting Public Relations Officer of the University Okwun Omeaku, in a statement revealed that the indefinite suspension is with immediate effect pending the outcome of a disciplinary panel constituted by the University to investigate the incident.
The statement reads, “For the records, the University of Nigeria has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct involving our staff and students.
“UNN is among the few universities in the country that has a Sexual Harassment Policy, which guides the relationship between our staff and students in particular and among our male and female staff.
“As a university, we are committed to protecting our students from any form of abuse and exploitation, and the University Management will not hesitate to punish Mr Mfonobong David Udoudom, according to our rules, if he is found guilty by our disciplinary panel.”
