The Service Compact With All Nigerian, SERVICOM, Directorate of the University of Calabar, has banned indecent dressing among students and staff of the university forthwith.
Patrick Egaga, the director of SERVICOM in UNICAL, announced the ban in a statement issued on Friday, April 7, 2023, in Calabar.
He said that 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, crap 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, sho rts above the knee, sleeveless shirts, singlets, lingeries, sagged trousers, and others.
“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,” 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.
He also called on the male students and staff to model the dressing pattern of the university’s Council Chairman, Retired Gen. Martin Luther-Agwai, and the Registrar, Mr Gabriel Egbe.
