Official Letter Alleges Sexual Harassment and Unfair Demotion at NAN

A letter from a former NAN staffer has surfaced, accusing a senior official of persistent sexual harassment against Miss Ogunola Folashade Adunni. The complaint was addressed to the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Ali Muhammad Ali, by Dr Femi Ogunshola. Miss Ogunola served as a casual employee in the Accounts Department after her NYSC year. She reportedly rejected repeated advances from a senior colleague. In response, she was placed on Grade Level 5 Step 2—below her qualifications—while other casual staff received higher grades. Several internal appeals, including contacts with the President’s Special Adviser on Information and the agency’s leadership, yielded no resolution. The open letter urges the Managing Director to investigate the allegations, review Miss Ogunola’s placement, and restore fairness and transparency at NAN.
