The Association of Nigeria Female Students (ANFS) has disclosed plans to launch a ‘whistle blowing committee’ across campuses to safeguard female students from being victims of sex for grades, urging them to always speak out when such occurs.
This was contained in the acceptance statement by the President Elect ANFS Comr. Opeyemi Mary Olorungbemi, a student of the Mass Communication Department, Nasarawa State University Keffi.
Olorungbemi applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing into law the student’s loan bill, describing the gesture as a ‘morale booster’ to the Nigerian educational system and the girl child.
“Mr. President Sir, may I also commend you for the tough decisions taking so far to revert the Nigerian educational sector and economy. We are so far proud of your leadership giant strides and achievements.
