The director of SERVICOM, Prof Patrick Egaga, announced the ban in a statement issued on Friday in Calabar.
He 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.
“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 they would no longer be allowed on campus with effect from May 2, 2023; and consequently, any student or staff member clad in the regalia or paraphernalia mentioned above 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 added.
He said female students and staff were enjoined to imitate the dressing culture of the vice chancellor, Prof Florence Obi and her deputies. (NAN)
