UNILAG Debunks Issuing Dress Code For Students

Posted by Jay




The Deputy Registrar, Information, University of Lagos, Prof. Toyin Adebule, on Thursday debunked the rumour of dress code issued to the students of the institution. According to him, the management of the University of Lagos has distanced itself from the purported dress code speculation.
In a memo said to have emanated from the university on Tuesday, it was alleged that the university had issued a new dress code for students and that indecent dressing did not ‘reflect the seriousness, dignity and character-moulding nature of academic enterprise’.

The memo said further “students should maintain a clean and well-cared for appearance in all settings on campus. Wearing of tight, strapless and revealing clothes, or clothes whose lengths are above the knees are inappropriate.’’

But Adebule said, “The University of Lagos wishes to inform the general public that it has not approved or implemented any new dress code for its students. The general public is hereby advised to discountenance any campaign in the print, electronic or social media claiming that the University of Lagos has introduced a new dress code for its students. All such claims are false and do not emanate from the university.”

He added, “However, it is pertinent to state that the university encourages students to dress decently and our watchword is, ‘Dress as you want to be addressed’.”
