Popular Nigerian University Compels Students To Wear Uniforms

All students should dress in their faculty uniforms with suitable ties and shoes, according to Aneke.

“No student is expected to wear slippers, rugged jeans, coloured hair, long fingers, fez caps or artificial eyelashes,” he directed.

Mr. Anieke criticized the majority of students and staff for wearing t-shirts with unauthorised inscriptions, in violation of the dress code at the school, and he commanded male students to properly comb their hair or get a haircut.

The vice chancellor disclosed that the management had started conducting qualitative evaluations of every member of the university’s teaching and support staff.

“Principal officers of the institutions will henceforth visit the lecture halls to assess the lectures by the academic staff while the non-teaching staff will submit their roll calls at the beginning and closing of each day’s activities,” Mr Anieke explained. “Students who fail to attend lectures will not be allowed to sit for examinations.”

He stressed that female matriculants would not be permitted to wear any shoes that were taller than four centimeters when he announced that the institution’s 14th matriculation will take place on January 27. The men must dress in a suit and matching tie. NAN.
