Taraba State University (TSU) administration has implemented a dress code policy prohibiting certain attire on campus. The directive, outlined in a circular from the Vice Chancellor, Professor Sunday Paul Bako, instructs lecturers to deny access to lecture halls for students dressed inappropriately.
The circular highlights specific banned items such as miniskirts, face caps, rolled sleeves, and any other attire deemed indecent. Professor Bako emphasized that students have repeatedly flouted the university’s dress code regulations.

Additionally, deans, department heads, and faculty officers are urged to enforce appropriate dressing standards within their respective departments. The circular explicitly prohibits transparent, mini, and skimpy dresses, as well as clothing revealing sensitive body parts.
Students are also forbidden from wearing torn or dirty jeans, shirts without buttons, improperly buttoned shirts, face caps, and excessively tight-fitting clothing.
Furthermore, the guidelines extend to male students, who are prohibited from wearing earrings, necklaces, or certain hairstyles such as plaiting, weaving, or bonding hair. Female students are cautioned against wearing untidy or excessively large hairstyles, brightly colored artificial hair, long eyelashes, nails, or artificial dreadlocks.
The university administration warns that any student found violating the dress code will face disciplinary action.
