Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade, has stated that most university girls who are sexually abused are dullards.

He said this during the one-kilometre walk staged in Calabar in commemoration of this year’s “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV)” in the state. Ayade was represented by Ms Tina Agbor, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), at the event.

“As a girl in the university, study hard and no one will take advantage of you because they know that you are worth your onions. Some of the university girls that say they were sexually molested are dullards who visit lecturers privately to beg for marks,” she said.
