UNILORIN to enforce dress code on students, staff

The University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, says it has constituted a
committee to look into the modalities for the enforcement of a dress
code for members of staff and students of the institution.

Dr Rasheed Jimoh, the Dean of the Faculty of Communication and
Information Sciences (CIS) made this known in a statement made
available to newsmen in Ilorin.

Jimoh stated that the faculty would rely on contributions and
commitment of members of the committee towards ensuring total
compliance with the university's dress code to guard against indecent
dressing on campus.

The don said that the committee had earlier held its inaugural
meeting, where members expressed commitment to achieving the
objectives of the code.

According to him, various strategies have been mapped out to ensure
the success of the committee's assignment.

"The committee, however, charged all staff and students to always
abide by the rules and regulations governing dressing on campus as
sanctions will be applied on erring staff and students," the don said.

According to the statement, the committee is to be chaired by Dr
Abiodun Olawoyin of the Department of Telecommunications Sciences.

Other members include: Mr Mustafa Abubakar of the Directorate of
Corporate Affairs as Secretary and Dr Rasaq Adisa of the Department of
Mass Communication among others.
