The Lagos State University, LASU, has banned indecent dressing on campus even as it released fifteen dress codes considered indecent for its students.
The management also ordered lecturers to ensure that no students are allowed into the classrooms when indecently dressed.
In a statement issued by the interim Head of the Centre for Information, Olaniyi Jeariogbe, the University warned that it is no longer comfortable with the continuous disregard for its rules and regulations on the mode of dressing by the students on campus.
The statement said the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, had informed the College Provost, Deans of Faculties and Heads of Departments, as well as faculty officers both in the main and satellite campuses to join hands to enforce the new dressing rules.
