The management of Lagos State University recently released new dress codes for students.
According to the newly released dress code the
wearing of Hijab in the school premises is banned.
The law that bans burka is the 9th instruction of the
18 laws by the school. Amongst the 18 new laws,
personally, I am not in support of the ban on the use
of face caps, tattooing and the ban on the use
shorts & knickers.
With this new development, it is obvious that the
management of Lagos State University is taking
fashion away from student which ought not to be.
Below are the 18 kinds dressing/fashion style
banned for Lagos State University Students
1) Transparent dresses, Mini and Skimpy Skirts/
