Sexual harassment in universities and other higher education institutions is not limited to Nigeria and her neighbours. This attribute makes sexual harassment in the workplace a much talked about organisational vice outside inherent job factors. Hence now, the germane questions are: why is sexual harassment still allowed to flourish in our workplaces and universities? For example, rather surprisingly, there is no provision in the Nigerian Labour Act 2004 that prohibits sexual harassment or any other kind of harassment during employment. The Senate at its plenary session of Tuesday, 7 July 2020 passed the Sexual Harassment Bill, 2020 (SB 77) which seeks to prevent, prohibit and redress the sexual harassment of students in tertiary educational institutions.
