        a.setLect_num(input.nextLine());

        System.out.print("\nPlease insert your Name, Sir : ");
        a.setName(input.nextLine());

        System.out.print("\nPlease enter your Age, Sir : ");
        a.setAge(input.nextInt());

        System.out.print("\nPlese enter the course you are in charge, Sir : ");
        input.nextLine();

In line 2 of your code snippet, you are collecting input from the scanner and discarding it:

System.out.print("Please enter your Lecturer Identification Number, Sir : ");
input.nextLine();  // this line is gathering input and discarding it
a.setLect_num(input.nextLine());
