The management of Federal Polytechnic Oko Anambra State has issued a statement through the examination committee prohibiting its female students from wearing trousers and the male students from keeping over grown beard, and afro hair while writing any examination.



In what seems to be moved to ensure absolute compliance to directives , the School’s Anti -cult unit has been mandated to prevent defaulting students from accessing the examination halls.

Reacting to the new development, a student from Department of Mass communication who identified himself as Ikenna described the move as “senseless, oppressive and uncalled for”. He further described the new management of the polytechnic and in fact some of the lecturers as agents of oppression. In his words “I don’t know what the new acting Rector wants to turn the school into. I don’t know if they want to turn this higher institution into a secondary school? About a month ago one of the lecturers slapped the SUG president for just no cause. They even once mandated everyone to wear the school polo or departmental polo to the examination centers especially at Mass com exam center but the SUG gave it a fight”
