Indecent Dressing: UNICAL Introduce Dress Code, Bans Short Skirts, Handless Gowns, See-through Apparels, Others On Campus

The University of Calabar (UNICAL), Cross River State, has introduced dress code to address the issue of indecent dressing around the campus, banning short skirts, handless gowns and other alleged provocative dressing.

The Director, Service Compact (SERVICOM) with All Nigerian Directorate of the University, Professor Patrick Egaga, announced the ban in a statement issued on Friday of Calabar said the directorate had noticed with grave concern the increase and proliferation of indecent, provocative and unofficial dressing, mostly by students and some female staff of the institution.

Professor Egaga stated: “Specifically, short skirts or gowns, above the knee, open backs, crop tops, braless tops and gowns, spaghetti finger, sleeveless tops, handless gowns, bikinis, see-through, transparent, apparels and revealing contours are no longer tolerated on campus.

“Others are handless gowns, bum short revealing laps, slit skirts, body hugs, V-necks exposing breasts, tubes, strip-less, rag jeans, shorts above the knee, sleeveless shirts, singlets, lingerie, sagged trousers and others.

He stated that all of those would no longer be allowed on campus with effect from Tuesday, May 2, 2023 and consequently, any student or staff member clad in the regalia or paraphernalia mentioned would be denied effective access into any of the university facilities or be appropriately sanctioned.

“A combined security and administrative task force will be constituted to monitor compliance,” he said.

He said that female students and staff are enjoined to imitate the dressing culture of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Florence Obi, and her deputies.

In the same vein, he also called on the male students and staff to model the dressing pattern of the university’s Council Chairman, General Martin Luther-Agwai and the Registrar, Mr Gabriel Egbe.
