The Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, has started a campaign to combat immorality and indecent attire on campus by outlawing public embraces and kisses between people of different sexes, any scant clothing, the use of colored hair, tattoos, and other practices.
Additionally, it forbade opposite sex students from sitting on each other’s laps and urged them not to wear any clothing or accessories that obscure their faces.
Sexually suggestive clothing will no longer be permitted in the school, according to the administration.
These were included in the new student handbook’s set of behavior and dress standards, which also included prohibitions on backless clothing, transparent clothing, off-the-shoulder clothing, bum shorts, torn jeans, dreadlocks, earrings for men and cowries for women, and micro/mini dresses.

The university also banned sagging of trousers or knickers for males and females, hair braiding for males, nose, mouth, eye or extra rings, crop/jump tops, unconventional wearing of caps, tattoo/indelible markings for males, multi-coloured braid for females, haircuts with inscriptions, T-shirts with obscene inscriptions depicting immorality, hooliganism, among others.
It vowed that heavy make-ups, rumpled and dirty clothes, and hair plaiting or weaving by male students would no longer be tolerated on the campus.
According to the school, violators of any of the dress codes will be rusticated from the school for one semester while in addition, any student found with coloured hairstyles, hair braiding for males, or spangled hairstyle for males will be rusticated for two semesters from the school.
It said it would rusticate students found touching, kissing and hugging a member of the opposite sex and students found massaging or sitting on the lap of the opposite sex for two semesters.
The school management, however, urged male students to note that their hair should be neat and well-combed at all times and that the hair should not be coloured (except it is a natural colour).
