Women in higher institutions located in Imo State yesterday protested
against immorality among female undergraduates in the state.
Over 500 women from Federal University of Technology, Owerri, under
the aegis of Federal University of Technology Owerri Women Association,
FUTOWA, staged a peaceful rally against indecent dressing, prostitution,
violence and other vices prevalent in tertiary schools in Nigeria.
Addressing the university community, the Association’s President, Dr.
Mrs. Ihuoma Asiabaka, lamented that “moral decadence is a social
malaise that is threatening lives and future of our girls in the state.
Dr. Asiabaka, who is the Vice Chancellor’s wife, said, “we cannot
afford the luxury of watching our children go astray in the name of
modernity.”
She reminded the students that FUTO belonged to the global village,
which the world had become and urged them not to portray the school in
bad light.
Apart from the activities already carried out, a two-day intensive
seminar/workshop would be organized for female students in all the
tertiary institutions in Imo State.
