Charles Aniagwu, Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, has clarified that the recent dress code directive for public servants is not a new policy but a reinforcement of existing civil service regulations.

The directive, issued last week by the Office of the Head of Service, instructs male workers to avoid bushy beards and certain traditional caps. Female civil servants are prohibited from wearing artificial braided or dyed hair, long eyelashes, and fake nails. The policy also outlines clothing requirements for different staff levels.
Senior officers on grade level 13 and above are expected to wear suits, while officers on levels 07–12 should appear in trousers, shirts, ties, or suits. Junior officers on levels 01–06 must wear suits or shirts with trousers, and traditional attire is permitted only on Fridays and special occasions. Women are expected to wear skirt suits, trouser suits, or corporate gowns below the knee with sleeves; sleeveless outfits, spaghetti straps, or dresses exposing cleavage are prohibited.
In a statement on Monday, Aniagwu emphasized that the policy aims to ensure decency and professionalism in the civil service. He noted that employees who falsify records or abandon their posts risk removal from the payroll and may be required to refund illegally received salaries.
The commissioner also highlighted Delta State’s recent engagement in Brazil, aimed at showcasing the state’s investment potential in agriculture, ranching, renewable energy, and industrial development. According to Aniagwu, the initiative is designed to create jobs, enhance security, and improve living standards.
Aniagwu dismissed reports of conflicts among cabinet members, describing them as politically motivated fabrications. He reiterated that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori remains focused on delivering results and people-centered governance, unaffected by misinformation.
