NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The Ibadan Polytechnic, has given reasons why it banned pregnant students and nursing mothers from bringing babies to classrooms and on campus.

The polytechnic has also banned/ sanctioned indecent dressing and posture in the school, adding that, henceforth certificates of graduation would only be awarded to only the ‘ upright’

The institution recently, made the decision known in a morality code signed by its governing council.

The polytechnic said students hugging each other publicly on campus would be suspended for one semester.

Adewole Soladoye, the polytechnic’s spokesman, confirmed the strict morality code.

“The school is not a nursing home. Is it right to bring babies into lecture rooms? It is definitely a distraction,” Mr Soladoye told Peoples Gazette. “They are free to have babies. But they should look for a childcare facility for their babies.”

The school governing council said certificates would only be awarded to students “upright” in their academic pursuit and moral conduct, urging them to shun indecent dressing.

The institution’s official memo is reproduced below.
