Sexual misconduct cases have rocked Nigerian public tertiary institutions, with at least 50 lecturers indicted between April 2021 and April 2025. Some have been dismissed, while others face disciplinary action. The incidents span universities and polytechnics nationwide, highlighting a pervasive problem.

Despite a 2021 bill prescribing a 21-year jail term for lecturers guilty of sexual exploitation, the legislation remains unsigned. Recent cases include the dismissal of lecturers from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, and Lagos State University of Science and Technology.
