UNILORIN Restricts 35 Candidates From Writing Post-UTME Over Indecent Dressing

The authorities of the University of
Ilorin reportedly prevented 35
candidates, mostly female from taking
part in the post- UTME screening over
indecent dressing.
It was gathered that the candidates
had assembled at the centre
designated for the computer based
(CBT) test at the permanent site of the
University when officials in charge of
the test turned them back on account
of their dressing considered not
decent enough.
The authorities of the University, had
in an advertorial before the
commencement of the test, set
guidelines for prospective candidates,
one of which compels candidates to
dress decently to the examination
venue.
It was learnt that the pleas by the
candidates were turned down in line
with the varsity’s zero tolerance for
indecent dressing and other anti-
social conducts.
With the development, the affected
candidates may have automatically
forfeited their chances of writing the
crucial examination, which allows
them admittance into the University.
When contacted, Deputy Director of
Corporate Affairs of the University,
Mr. Kunle Akogun, said he was not
aware of the development, but added
that “it is possible”, because of the
war against indecent dressing on the
campus.
Meanwhile, the bus terminus on the
University campus was filled with
passengers, mostly post- UTME
candidates scrambling to board few
taxi-cabs that were on ground.
It was gathered that the commercial
drivers shuttling between Unilorin
Main Campus and Tanke Tipper
Garage, took advantage of the
moment to exploit the candidates.
