Enugu varsity bans artificial eyelashes, fingernails, short clothes

The management of Godfrey Okoye University in Enugu State has banned students and officials from fixing fingernails, eyelashes, and other artificial materials on the body.

The institution also banned the wearing of short clothes by staff and students to work and lectures.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Rev. Fr. Christian Anieke, announced this while addressing staff and students of the institution in Enugu on Thursday, April 20.

Anieke warned that the management would not tolerate staff or students who wear tights and other materials that expose sensitive parts of their bodies, adding that such dressings distract other members of the university.

He said only black and brown hair would be allowed on campus, giving the officials and students one month to adjust to the new rules.

The Vice-Chancellor announced that students would be expected to wear their faculty uniforms from Tuesdays to Fridays since students had abused the liberty to wear cultural attires on Fridays.

Anieke, who said the exchange of phonographic materials remained a taboo in the institution, noted that “such odd things will no longer be allowed in the university”.

Anieke advised the staff to be proactive and cover their lectures, saying the university management would not have any excuse in case of disruption of the nation’s academic programmes.

The VC, however, warned final-year students against plagiarism, stressing that the university librarian had been directed to carry out plagiarism tests on all research works by students and staff.

Anieke further advised students to report officials who frustrate them in the completion of their projects.
