Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, has banned indecent dressing and introduced a new dress code for students and staff for easy identification.
The vice-chancellor of the university, Christian Anieke, announced this on Tuesday while addressing staff and students of the institution as they returned from Christmas and New Year breaks.
According to Aneke, all students should wear their faculty uniforms with appropriate ties and shoes.
“No student is expected to wear slippers, rugged jeans, coloured hair, long fingers, fez caps or artificial eyelashes,” he directed.
Mr Anieke regretted that most students and staff wear t-shirts with unauthorised inscriptions, contrary to the school’s dress code and ordered male students to comb their hair properly or shave it.
The vice-chancellor revealed that the management had introduced qualitative assessments of all the teaching and non-teaching staff of the university.
“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 announced that the 14th matriculation of the institution would take place on January 27, stressing that female matriculants would not be allowed to wear any shoe that was more than four centimetres high. The males must wear a suit with a tie to match. NAN
