The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, and some other key figures in the Nigerian corporate space will be addressing the increasing cases of sexual crimes in workplace at a session slated for Oct. 25 in Lagos.
Joseph Edgar, Chairman of The Duke’s Masterclass and the convener of the session, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
Edgar said the event, with theme, “Sexual Relations in the Workplace”, would hold at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Victoria Island.
He said Justice Alogba had approved the attendance of Justice A. Akinlade, a senior judge of the Lagos High Court, who will present a paper on “The Menace of Sexual Harassment, Rape, and Other Violent Crimes in the Workplace”.
According to him, the session would feature distinguished speakers like: Chief Bimbo Ashiru, Chairman, Odua Group, Olumide Aju SAN; Adekunle Oyinloye, Chairman, Gbose Group and Dr Austen Ebose, Managing Director, Anchor Insurance.
Others are: Tokunbo George-Taylor, Expert PR Consultant; Omokunbi Adeoti of Leadway Group; Dr Olayinka Jibunoh and CSP Lasisi Nurudeen.
Edgar emphasised that the issue of sexual relations in the workplace had rapidly escalated into a significant threat to corporate existence
He said unfortunately, many business leaders often failed to recognise its severity until it became too late, by which time the organisation’s structure might have been damaged, sometimes beyond repair.
