The management of the Lagos State University (LASU) has barred students of the institution from wearing miniskirts, face caps, rolled sleeves, and other attires deemed ''indecent'' while on campus. This was contained in a statement signed by the institution's vice-chancellor Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello on Monday, January 23.
Male students were barred from wearing earrings and necklaces, including plaiting, weaving, or bonding of hair, while female students were cautioned not to wear, “lousy, unkempt, extremely bogus hair or colored artificial hair, brightly tinted hair/eyelashes/brown, fixing of long eyelashes, nails, and artificial dreadlock.
Ibiyemi ordered lecturers to begin denying access to lecture halls to any student with inappropriate clothing. Provosts, deans, department heads, and faculty officers were also advised to ensure that students dress appropriately within their respective faculties.
The statement partly reads;
“Students are also prohibited from wearing tattered and dirty jeans with holes or obscene subliminal messages; shirts without buttons; shirts that are improperly buttoned; rolling of sleeves or flying collar; and wearing of face caps or complete face covering with very dark glasses.
Wearing of tight fitting apparels; wearing clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body; wearing shirts and tops with obscene, obnoxious or seductive inscription; wearing of face caps or complete covering of face (very dark glasses), wearing “baggy, saggy or ass level clothes and any other form of indecent trousers and piercing of body and tattooing.”
The school authorities warned that any student found violating the dress code in the premises would be sanctioned accordingly.
