On how she was able to overcome the prevalent challenge of lecturers frustrating students especially the girl child, she said “l would say it’s through prayers. Secondly, l would say it’s the way l kept my self.
“I was very intentional about my dressing, which enable me to get the best dressed female student in the faculty of law, NDU in the year l was graduating. I made sure I didn’t wear skimpy things that would expose sensitive parts of my body.
“I felt that was the starting point for me not to even attract the wrong lecturers to myself. I would say it’s prayer because there was a time when we hard a borrowed course and a particular lecturer waw trying to do something funny.
“When I sensed it from that particular lecturer in the first semester, l had to call home and told them what was going on and we all prayed and prayed.

“At some point, l had to escalate the issue to my HOD and told her what the lecturer was doing and she had to call him and warned him. These are some of the challenges the girl child is likely to face but through prayers and escalating it to the appropriate quarters, l think
they can scale through that.”
She further revealed that the lowest grade she had during her university days was a ‘C’ which was given to her with malice by a particular lecturer who was bent on sleeping with her, stressing that ‘l knew what I wrote but he gave me a ‘C’. I know what I mean.”
