The chairman of ICPC, Mr Ekpo Nta, has revealed that the commission had rescued a female undergraduate of the Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma, in Edo State, who had spent 12 years on campus just because she kept refusing s*xual advances from male lecturers.
Right now, ICPC is working on prosecuting all the lecturers and officials involved in the stupid act. Continue...
He said the commission had focused its torchlight on the universities, where it has closed down over 26 illegal degree-awarding institutions and rescued a number of students being victimised.
“There is also a student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who had spent eight years in the institution without graduating, as he was being victimised. We got involved and through us, he graduated.”
Mr Nta also said the commission had uncovered 50 companies working with the Federal Ministry of Works, which forged tax certificates.
The ICPC boss, who stated this while appearing before the Senator Victor Lar-led Committee on Committee, said that 50 out of the 156 major contractors to the Ministry of Works had been discovered to have submitted forged tax certificates.
He said the development would have robbed the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) of its needed resources if the deal was not uncovered.
Mr Nta also explained that the commission had been able to track some Nigerians who specialised in cloning official passports, adding the 375 international passports had so far been seized.
He said: “We have seized official passports meant for top civil servants being used by traders. We have done serious work on that. I have seized about 375 international passports which we have published.”
In fact, I think a body should be set up to stop the mess some lecturers are doing to people's daughters.
