Curbing Indecent Dressing: Unical Bans Students,Staff From Wearing Bum Short,Sagging Trousers On Campus
With Effect From May 2,2023, Any Student or staff of the University Of Calabar clad in indecent dressing would either be denied access into the university or be appropriately sanctioned.The management position on indecent dressing in the institution, was contained in a statement signed by the University Director of SERVICOM, Professor Patrick Egaga,saying the increase and proliferation of indecent, provocative and unofficial dressing, mostly by students and some female employees of the school will no longer be tolerated.
The statement said management of the institution has set up Taskforce which comprised both security and management staff to carry out the news directive from the slated date .
Some of the clothes or dressing identified by the University as indecent are 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, apparel and revealing contours
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.
Efforts to get reaction from the outgoing President of the Student Union Government, Comrade Tyron Bassey was unsuccessful but some students who spoke under anonymity described the new directive as timid,uncivilised and an attempt to deprive students from their fundamental human right.
