Four lecturers of the Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State, have been dismissed for their alleged for involvement in sexual harassment and examination misconduct.
The lecturers, whose identities have not been revealed, were dismissed following the approval of their dismissal given by the Governing Council of the university.
It was gathered that at the university’s second council meeting, chaired by Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, the Governing Council commended the university management for adhering to due process during the investigation of the allegations. 
Ndoma-Egba urged the university management to promptly address the remaining cases of misconduct, particularly the one currently attracting media attention in the Faculty of Science.
While cautioning staff and the faculty against violating the university’s rules, Ndoma-Egba assured that the university would not ignore any misconduct.
He also encouraged students to report any incidents of harassment or mistreatment to the appropriate authorities without fear.
Recall that the university had in May announced the suspension of a lecturer in the Department of English and Literary Studies over alleged sexual harassment of a 300-Level student from the same Department.
The suspended lecturer was also referred to the Department of State Services (DSS) for investigation and possible prosecution if found guilty, while the university stressed that the lecturer was relieved of all his duties and positions.
