To curb indecent dressing among students, the management of Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu State, has harped on the need for students to wear their faculty uniforms with the appropriate ties and shoes.
The vice-chancellor of the university, Christian Anieke, on Tuesday, regretted that most students and staff wear t-shirts with unauthorized inscriptions which are contrary to the school’s dress code.
“No student is expected to wear slippers, rugged jeans, coloured hair, long fingers, fez caps, or artificial eyelashes,” he instructed while welcoming staff and students back to the school after the Christmas and New Year breaks.
Anieke also ordered male students to comb their hair properly or shave it.
He announced that the 14th matriculation of the institution would take place on 27 January, stressing that female participants would not be allowed to wear any shoe that was more than four centimeters high while male students must wear a suit with a tie to match.
The vice-chancellor revealed that the management had introduced qualitative assessments of all the teaching and non-teaching staff of the university.
“Principal officers of the institutions will henceforth visit the lecture halls to assess the lectures by the academic staff while the non-teaching staff will submit their roll calls at the beginning and closing of each day’s activities,” Anieke explained.
He added, “Students who fail to attend lectures will not be allowed to sit for examinations.”
