Nigerian sex workers, under the Nigerian Sex Workers Association (NSWA) have said that the ongoing sit at home embacked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which has led to the closure of public universities, will increase prostitution among female students.
This was made known by the national coordinator of the association, Amaka Enem, who said this in an interview with newsmen on Friday.
Enemo said, even without the strike, many female students had been engaging in ‘runs’, a euphemism for offering sex for cash or other valuables. She said if the strike was not called off soon, idle students would embrace sex work.
“The government needs to ensure that the strike is called off because if the students are left idle due to the closure of schools, it means the government is indirectly telling them to go to the streets," she said.
