Taraba State University Prohibits Inappropriate Wears On Campus
The management of Taraba State University (TSU), has announced the banning of the wearing inappropriate clothing in the institution.
The proscribed inappropriate dressings include; miniskirts, face caps, rolled sleeves, wearing of transparent clothes, mini and skimpy dresses, and other clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body.
These were contained in a circular by the institution’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Sunday Paul Bako, in which he directed lecturers of the institution deny students access to lecture halls if they are found to be inappropriate dressed.
With the circular, Prof Bako said that students of the institution are strictly 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.
The prohibition also include; “wearing of tight fitting apparels; wearing clothes that reveal sensitive parts of the body; wearing shirts and tops with obscene, obnoxious or seductive inscription ‘baggy, saggy or ass level’ clothes and any other form of indecent trousers and piercing of body and tattooing.
“The male students are barred from wearing ear rings and necklace, including plaiting, weaving or bonding of hair while the female students were cautioned not to wear lousy, unkempt, extremely bogus hair or coloured artificial hair, brightly tinted hair/eye lashes/brown, fixing of long eye lashes, nails and artificial dreadlock.”
The Vice Chancellor noted that the students had consistently disregarded the university’s dress code rules and regulations thus, advised Deans, heads of department and faculty officers to ensure that students dress appropriately within their respective colleges, schools, and faculties.
The university management therefore warned that any student found violating the dress code in the premises of the institution would be severely sanctioned.
