Recently female students of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, Ogun State, have been warned to desist from attending classes without pants and bras.
This instruction, contained in a memo released Saturday by the school's New Media office and signed by the speaker of the student council Sulaimon Adedamola, stated that female students are required to wear bras and pants when on campus as this is not just for their comfort but also out of respect for other students.
"It is important to remember that pants and a bra are required while on campus. This is not only for your comfort and safety but also out of respect for other students.
"It is essential that you wear pants and a bra while on campus. This is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. If you do not comply you will face the consequences and may face disciplinary action. Please respect your fellow students and the rules of the school by wearing appropriate clothing at all times.
"This could include warnings and even suspension. The school takes this rule very seriously and any violation will be treated as a serious offence," the memo read.
However, a female student of the school (name withheld) who is in HND 1 told All Campus Show correspondent today that "wearing underwear should not be by force, that is private, they can advice to dress properly not to force someone on wearing pants and bra, me I don't even have, because it is easy for me like that, bra chokes somebody, guys should just be happy"
