Will they put surveillance around motion ground, Anglo/Moz b/stop, sport area, agricultural faculty and Ajose lecture theatre areas... those areas use to be our hunting arena.

University of Ife doings.

This is nice. Considering all dress code mentioned are for informal environment.

Institution of higher learning is a formal environment.

Its just like saying Babariga and Agbada is not allowed in Night Clubs and you say its wrong or absurd.

The same O.A.U that I graduated from has turned into a glorified secondary school?

Somebody should remind me of Jesus last words on the cross.

"It is finished!"

If na when men dem mount for SUG, this nonsense wouldn't have been released.

This country useless no be small.

I remember playing with a dude that plaits his hair, that guy is one of the coolest bassist I have played with and he destroyed so many of these stereotype for me.

The people making these stupid rules will turn around and vote Tinubu a second time.

Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by shortgun(m):
This dress code circular from Obafemi Awolowo University is not only draconian in content but embarrassingly sloppy in execution. For an academic institution that prides itself on intellectual excellence, this document is riddled with misspelled words, grammatical blunders and inconsistencies. If you’re going to police students’ appearance with such intensity the bare minimum is to do it with proper English.


Instead of equipping students to face the real world, you’re turning the university into a 1970s military barracks. If OAU put half this energy into fixing hostels, updating curricula, or paying lecturers maybe we wouldn’t be here talking about dress codes written like a failed WAEC essay.

Universities are supposed to prepare students for a diverse and globalized world not shame and punish them into submission. OAU as an institution is clearly stuck in the past

Some universities will start to introduce uniform very soon undecided

We are slowly returning to normalcy. The young people of this generation will be noted in history for various misdeeds. Congratulations to the OAU executives for their efforts. Other institutions should take note and follow suit even Churches to should control their members.
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by Melagros(m): 10:30pm On Jul 24, 2025
COMRADES are speechless at these...well I am in alignment with the school, honestly, because at school, especially the tertiary institutions(since there's no discipline) the way some students dress or behave baffles me, I do ask myself whether those children are 'parentles'
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by Splendour99: 10:31pm On Jul 24, 2025
Very welcomed development. Young children these days are something else.

U don't know Awo boys. During our time, the school management can't even try to implement this policy. We will shut down the senate and shut down the school main gate immediately. They are lucky that OAU students have calm down.

Just introduce sharia no dey disguise, we know you've been conquered.
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by TallNigerian: 10:35pm On Jul 24, 2025
This is so funny.

Initially, it looked reasonable until they got to "rumpled and dirty clothing".

Imagine being rusticated for wearing a decent but rumpled cloth grin

Imagine being rusticated for hugging a female course mate. angry

Well, over to OAU students.
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by BodePolScience: 10:36pm On Jul 24, 2025
I think the whole idea is to ensure moderation and to keep some 'alaseju' in check.
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by geesilver(m): 10:38pm On Jul 24, 2025
I hope they are ready to face the legal consequences of their decision when it happens
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by Samajogs: 10:40pm On Jul 24, 2025
What about sanctions for sexual harressment by lecturers. Punishment should also be melted on them
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by omojeesu(m): 10:41pm On Jul 24, 2025
Softly, softly sha!

It is going to be exploited by overzealous implementors!

Will they try counselling, social and psychological approaches...?
Re: OAU Dress Code & Punishment For Violators by Eriokanmi: 10:41pm On Jul 24, 2025
I visited the OAU recently and was so disappointed with the spate of infrastructural decay in place. I've been wondering why the school's name had suddenly vanished from the ratings list, not knowing its no more what it used to be. So sad. Our leaders won't go unpunished by God for destroying our education system that made them who they are today.

Go to Harvard, caltech, Yale and Princeton and see what they are doing, that's the problem we focus on irrelevant things.
You can't even hold a debate with most of your professors. They will use i m older to put you down.
