UNICAL bans sagging, short skirts, handless gowns on campus

The Service Compact With All Nigerian (SERVICOM) directorate of the University of Calabar has banned indecent dressing among students and staff of the institution.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the director of SERVICOM at the institution, Patrick Egaga, in a statement on Friday, said wearing short skirts, open backs, braless tops, and gowns is now prohibited among students.
Egaga said the directive followed the proliferation of indecent, provocative, and unofficial dressing, especially among some female students and staff of the institution.

He added that the ban will take effect in the institution from May 2, adding that violators would be sanctioned.

“All of these will no longer be tolerated on campus with effect from Tuesday, May 2, 2023.

“Consequently, any student or staff clad in regalia or paraphernalia mentioned will 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,” the statement reads.

Egaga enjoined female students and staff to imitate the dressing culture of Florence Obi, the institution’s vice-chancellor.
He also called on the male students and staff to emulate the dressing pattern of Martin Luther-Agwai and Gabriel Egbe, the varsity’s council chairman, and registrar respectively.
