The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin, Prof. Osayuki Oshodin has commended the National Assembly for voting against the legalization of same-sex marriage, in spite of pressures from some countries and international donor agencies.The University don spoke today at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS) and UNIBEN to offer postgraduate diploma and masters’ programmes in areas of Legislative Studies, Parliamentary Administration and Legislative Drafting, held at the National Assembly.
According to the University Don the stance of the National Assembly against the same sex marriage increased their image in the eyes of Nigerians.
