ATBU to rusticate students for wearing tattoo, dreadlocks, smooching, others

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi has announced that it will henceforth rusticate students who wear tattoos, dreadlocks, amongst other acts considered as “salient misconduct” by the northern institution.
The university in a memo by the Dean of Students Affairs addressed to the Student Union President, dated April 27, obtained by Peoples Gazette, also listed wearing of mini skirts, nose and mouth rings as part of the misconducts that may attract rustication in the revised Students Handbook.

“I write to inform you that the University Senate has approved the revised Students Handbook at its 161 Regular Senate Meeting held on Thursday, 13 April, 2023.
“The following are extracts of 30 most salient misconducts from the revised Handbook. All students and members of the University Community are requested to avoid such types of misconduct,” the memo reads in part.
