Nigerian Government to fully implement Sex Offender Register

The Minister of Women Affairs in Nigeria, Mrs. Pauline Tallen, says the Sex Offender Register will be fully implemented to protect girls and women from sexual abuse. Tallen gave this assurance when she took a tour of the The National Centre for Women Development (NCWD), on Friday, in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the minister, who decried the rising cases of women abuse in the country, also held an interactive session with members of staff of the centre.

“The sex Offender’s Register would be strictly implemented; any sex offender that is found wanting will face the wrath of the law. “I commend the Ministry of Education because the step taken is a clear warning that any professor, lecturer or person that messes around with the life of any girl he would be severely dealt with,’’ she said.
