According to Media reports, American University of Nigeria (AUN) has concluded plans to establish a gender law programme that would educate students as well as Nigerians on gender-based legal issues.
It would be recalled that the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly rejected a bill seeking for gender equality on the floor of the Senate.
Speaking during the ninth annual alumni career fair held in Abuja, the Dean, School of Law of the University, Professor Oladejo Olowu said the programme is coming as “a means of correcting the abnormalities of the past in the gender differences and the scandal towards the gender bill by Nigerian lawmakers.”
The Prof. said that the new course will help to educate Nigerians more and confront the orthodoxies and conservative idea that have held the society for long.
