My comments extremely regrettable – Minister of women affair

Mrs Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, Minister of Women Affairs, says she regrets the comment credited to her in a viral video concerning the sexual harassment scandal at the University of Calabar (UNICAL) in Cross River.

The declaration comes as a response to recent public discussions and reactions by concerned Nigerians regarding the unfolding situation at the institution involving Prof. Cyril Ndifon, Dean of the Faculty of Law and the sexual harassment allegations levelled against him.

Kennedy-Ohanenye, in a statement issued to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, reiterated her commitment to justice, safeguarding and advancing the rights and welfare of Nigerian women, including the pursuit of justice whenever their rights were violated.

She emphasised her unwavering dedication to upholding due diligence and the rule of law, recognising that justice and fairness were the fundamental principles upon which equitable societies were built.
