The management of Babcock University has announced fresh guidelines on students grooming and dressing as the institution prepares for its forthcoming examinations. According to Punch, In a statement signed by the Vice President for Student Development, Olanivi Arije, the university officially cancelled all hair-pass permits previously in circulation, describing them as illegal and invalid. According to the school, hair-pass tags do not give any student the right to keep unapproved hairstyles on campus. Management stressed that the use, circulation or recognition of hair-pass in any form is now completely outlawed with immediate effect. The new rules will take full effect from the beginning of the second semester in January and will be strictly enforced across all Babcock campuses. Students currently in possession of any hair-pass or exemption were directed to stop using them immediately. The university warned that any student found presenting or relying on such documents will be investigated and disciplined accordingly. Under the updated regulations, male students are barred from keeping voluminous or unkempt hair, beards and dreadlocks, while female students are prohibited from wearing extreme, indecent or inconsistent hairstyles. Babcock also listed several outfits as unacceptable, including body-hugging clothes, sleeveless blouses or dresses, sagging trousers, as well as baggy, boot-cut or over-length trousers. Scarves tied to corporate or official academic wear are also restricted at certain times, while outfits such as bubu, danshiki, joggers, sportswear and walk-out wear are banned during stipulated periods. The university added that any student found in possession of prohibited items on campus will face disciplinary action, stressing that excuses or claims of ignorance will not be entertained..
