In a display of courage and determination, female students from the Faculty of Law at the University of Calabar stood up against alleged sexual harassment by their Dean, Professor Ndifon Cyril.
As they raise their voices against this alleged misconduct, the students find themselves facing the harsh specter of expulsion.
Fueled by a collective sense of empowerment, the students initiated a protest, boldly declaring “enough is enough.”
The students kept chanting ‘go go go’ With placards written “We are tired of sucking dicks”, “Let Prof Ndifon go for our sanity”, “Enough of UNICAL Law list manipulation”.
They accused Professor Cyril of a disturbing pattern of sexually harassing female students, an accusation that has sent shockwaves through the academic institution and beyond.
The allegations have cast a dark shadow over the revered halls of Unical, a place meant to be a nurturing ground for intellectual growth and empowerment.
In a climate where women’s voices are finding renewed strength and amplification, these students are making a resounding call for justice and accountability.
The protest comes as a culmination of years of frustration, as students claim that their pleas for a safe and respectful learning environment have gone unheeded.
Apparently, Professor Cyril’s behavior has not only compromised their sense of security but has also hindered their academic growth and potential.
The university administration, however, has reportedly responded to these allegations with threats of expulsion.
This stark response to students daring to speak out highlights the depth of the issue at hand and raises questions about the institution’s commitment to its students’ well-being and protection.
As news of this protest spreads, the rallying cry of “lend a voice” echoes across social media platforms.
Professor Cyril, a figure of authority within the institution, now finds himself under the intense scrutiny of public opinion.
The allegations, if proven true, not only tarnish his reputation but also cast a broader spotlight on the pervasive issue of sexual harassment within academic settings.
Universities hold a crucial responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of their students. The Unical protest serves as a stark reminder that this responsibility cannot be overlooked or diminished.
In an era marked by transformative social change and the empowerment of marginalized voices, the Unical law students are asserting their agency, reminding the world that education should never come at the cost of dignity and respect.
As their protest reverberates, it is a call to action for all to uphold the values of equality, safety, and justice within the hallowed halls of learning.
