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.
