Dr. Fola Olowoleni, the Registrar of the University of Ilorin, warned students on Monday against violating the institution’s dress code. Speaking at a meeting with members of the Dress Code Committee, she urged the committee to enforce the dress code rigorously and to ensure the regular use of identity cards (ID), which she stressed is an integral part of the policy.
The Registrar emphasized that the committee must be proactive in eliminating indecent dressing among students and all members of the university community. She noted that failure to display ID cards also constitutes a breach of the dress code. Olowoleni called for the new dress code to be communicated to students and staff through extensive sensitisation before examinations, recommending the inclusion of student representatives and counselling units in the effort.
“Part of the dress code is the use of ID cards, and it is important to always display them. I will lead the committee on that and expect all members to follow suit. You must set an example,” she said. Olowoleni also reminded committee members to follow due process when handling violations by students, staff, or visitors.
She stressed the need for intensive sensitisation before exams, regular meetings among committee members and their respective units, and the use of various platforms—including student forums, social media, and campus LED screens—to disseminate the guidelines. Violators, she warned, would be arrested by university authorities and sanctioned.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), prohibited attire on campus includes clothing that exposes any sensitive part of the body—such as cleavage, chest, back, navel, thigh, or armpit—as well as tight‑fitting or transparent garments, tattered or ripped jeans, and T‑shirts bearing obscene, immoral, or hooliganistic inscriptions.
