This morning, several students of the Federal University of Otuoke in Bayelsa State were sent home by SERVICOM officers because of how they were dressed.
Some had colored hair, while others wore leggings and tight jeans, which go against the school’s dress code.
A lecturer, Socrates Ebo, had earlier reminded students to follow the university’s dress rules. He said only suits, trousers, shirts, skirts, blouses, gowns, and native wear are allowed. For shoes, only sandals, covered shoes, canvas, and sneakers are permitted.
He also said body revealing clothes, ripped Jeans, dying of hair are no more allowed
Many believe this kind of dress code should be adopted in all universities to promote discipline and proper appearance among students.
