Indecent Dressing: LASU Issues Warning Letters To 84 Students

The University Official bulletin obtained by the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos, said the students were found
flouting the dress code of the University.
‎
‎The bulletin said
the university authorities had issued the students warning letters to
desist from such act or face disciplinary action.
‎
” The
students have been magnanimously pardoned by the university authority
and were warned to desist from the act of Indecent Dressing, henceforth,
or face disciplinary action,” the bulletin said.
‎
‎Meanwhile,
Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, Vice-Chancellor of the University said his
administration remained focused on implementing plans and strategies
that would improve infrastructure and facilities in the institution. ‎
‎
Fagbohun said within the past 200 days he spent in office, his
administration had been able to attract keen interest from benefactors
and investors, both from the public and private sectors. ‎
‎‎
”
Step by step, LASU is beginning to distinguish itself, over the past
seven months, as a lot has been achieved and a lot more is in the
offing,” he said.
‎
‎According to him, another core agenda of the administration is to beautify the University.
The
Vice -Chancellor said it was ‎unfortunate that some university members
were still fond of crossing the lawns and stepping on the flowers and
grasses.
“This is not in line with global best practices. As
global citizens, we must recognize that plants are not only to beautify
the environment but also to mitigate the negative effects of climate
change.
‎
“‎ You all are an integral part of this agendum, if we
truly want to attain the standard of the Ivy League Institutions, we
must begin to see crossing of lawns as a “sin”‎

“Also, as a breach of global norms and societal expectations, we must all endeavour to use the walkways at all times,” he said.‎
Fagbohun
reiterated that the language of his discourse remained dialogue and the
beauty of it is the peace, stability and progress that it brings.
“We should therefore not allow for distractions,
In all these, the interest of our students remains a non-negotiable priority.
“We
will always allow you to air your views in the most civilized manner
possible, as we are interested in knowing your grievances.
”
Kindly channel these through your Faculty and Students’ Union
Representatives to the Dean, Students Affairs, we will surely attend to
them,” he said.
‎
Fagbohun noted that discipline and respect for
rule of law are the primary ingredients of a functional society and the
administration would be fair in the pursuit of its goals. (NAN).
