35 Candidates Barred From Writing UNILORIN Post-UTME Exam 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 UnilorinMain Campus and
Tanke Tipper Garage, took advantage of the
moment to exploit the candidates.
