So it had to take more than one calender month before the University debunks such rumours. These are the issues...

I thought as much too. Don't see any reason why a federal university will be giving options on what students can wear or not wear. It's not a secondary school now neither is it a religious body owned school. If you can't deal with people dressing indescently when you eventually travel out someday and you come across a culture where women wear ridiculous dresses, what will you now do?

...so because people dress anyhow overseas that why we should accomodate any kind of dressing, same way we should accept homosexuality since it is very popular in the western world.The last time i checked we hv a culture and morals that is reflected in all part of our society and we were brought up with those too....Westernization is not civilization, the whites dont comform to our standards then why do the reverse.I see no reason why a school wether gov or private should not tell a student how to dress and been able to dress moderately.For education is not just book but good morals too and u in school to learn both.Thats why in ur degree certificate it is stated "having found worthy of character and learning"....character came first.There shouldnt be strict or controlling laws for its a university but they can moderate and regulate things are.....

Knew it. The Unilag I know will never make such a policy.

By the time, you gain admission into a university, you are at least 18, though you might also see those as old as 40.

At this level, a rational human being who has gone through primary and secondary school should know what is right for them.

Universities are not churches or mosques. If u decide to dress like a bi*ch or p*mp, society has a way of taking care of you.

This is not Iran, Iraq or Saudi Arabia. It is not called university (Universe City) for nothing.

At that level you should be able to decide which which path you want to take in life.

Universities have far more important things to worry about. Encourage decent dressing, but leave the implementation to churches , mosques and families.

Whether they debunk or not, all Nigerian schools are nothing but shyteholes.

Until we have a young vibrant presido who can make intelligent policies

dayowunmi:

Am not saying we have to dress like the whites, i only cited that as an illustration. What am saying is, I don't see the need why dressing should be censured in an adult environment. Part of education also entails being able to deal and relate with people of different ideology and behaviors. Am sure that is part of education too isn't it? I may not like a person's dressing or beliefs for example, that however does not mean i agitate that his dressing or beliefs be outlawed. Variety is the spice of life. What kind of school is it where everyone dress similarly! Although not with uniforms but similar attires. Also, part of my grouse with this dress code thingy is this; had it been true, then I can say that it potentially gives powers to pervert lecturers to victimize students who don't cower to their requests. The circular that was widely circulated on social media directed that students should not wear tight fitting clothes. But what defines tight fitting? Does wearing fitted t-shirts fall in this category? Or jeans? Any lecturer can simply cite any of the points under the so called code and send a student out of his class arbitrarily. I still stand by my opinion sir, education although teaches morals but it also should teach diversity as well. A university committee out to be where people can be themselves, a heterogeneous community and not a homogeneous one. Also this issue of indescent dressing seem exaggerated as well. Although i don't know Unilag as such, i graduated from great ife few years back and there wasn't a helluva scantily dressed students around back then.
