Authorities at the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, has threatened to sanction any student who brings in a car into the school premises henceforth.
This, the authorities said is aimed at stemming the tide of rot and moral decadence in the society.
Beyond suspension for one semester, such vehicle will also be impounded as well.
In an internal memo signed by the institution’s Deputy Registrar, Students’ Affairs, Mrs O.F. Ajayi, which Elendu Reports sighted, the school management released sanctions for a wide range of fashion choices common amongst its students.
The tertiary institution’s management vowed to suspend students caught with coloured hair; tattered jeans; tattoos; nose, mouth, eye (extra) ring; intimate/open embrace (hugging) and ‘crazy’ hairstyles for men; earrings for men, cowries for women; among others, one semester or two semesters, depending on the offence.
It also banned pregnant students and nursing mothers from hostels and bringing babies to classrooms and hostels.
The polytechnic joins other Nigerian higher institutions such as Bayero University Kano (BUK), University of Ilorin, University of Lagos, Lagos State University and others that have in the past released dress codes for male and female students.
Recall that some students from Chrisland School located in Lekki, Lagos were in the news for attending a competition in Dubai where they seized the opportunity to engage in sexual assaults among themselves and uploading it on social media.
