Prof. Job Akpodiete, the
rector of the polytechnic gave the order during the weekend shortly after the
burning of more than 5,000 face caps seized from students.
The management of Delta
Polytechnic banned the use of face caps by students on campus.
Akpodiete, represented by
the Dean of Students Affairs, Mr. Thomas Ojuye, said the move was to check the
incidence of indecent dressing among students on campus.
“The management of the
polytechnic came up with advice to students to dress in a manner that is
acceptable to the institution and the public. Sequel to the directive by the
school management, the use of all manner of caps by students on campus has been
proscribed,” he said.
The rector added that the
polytechnic’s security unit had been authorised as a matter of importance to
destroy seized caps henceforth. The polytechnic, he said, had over the years,
witnessed relative peace and cult-free academic environment.
Akpodiete described the
feat as a product of conscientious and proactive measures put in place by the
management of the polytechnic.
In his remark, the
polytechnic’s Chief Security Officer, Mr. Simeon Eduke, described Ozoro
Polytechnic as one of the most peaceful institutions in Nigeria. He said that
the destruction of the seized face caps was to serve as a deterrent to the
incoming students of the polytechnic.
