The management of the Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu State, has banned indecent dressing and implemented a new dress code for students and staff. Christian Anieke, the university's vice-chancellor, announced this on Tuesday while speaking to staff and students returning from the Christmas and New Year holidays. According to Aneke, all students should wear their faculty uniforms with appropriate ties and shoes. “No student is expected to wear slippers, rugged jeans, coloured hair, long fingers, fez caps or artificial eyelashes,” he directed.
