Outrage as OOU Enforces ‘No Bra, No Exam’ Policy on Female Students
A viral video showing officials of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ogun State, inspecting female students for compliance with a controversial “no bra, no examination” policy has sparked widespread debate across social media.
The 10-second footage, which surfaced online on Tuesday via X (formerly Twitter), captures several female students lined up at an exam venue while officials appeared to physically check if they were wearing bras before allowing them into the examination hall.
The incident, which reportedly occurred during ongoing examinations at the institution, has triggered mixed reactions among Nigerians, with many questioning the method and ethics behind such enforcement.
Some social media users defended the university’s move, suggesting it may be aimed at promoting modesty and discipline within the academic environment. “It’s a necessary step to curb indecent dressing on campus,” one X user wrote.
However, a large section of the public condemned the act as an invasion of privacy and a violation of the students’ dignity. Critics argued that the focus on underwear detracts from academic priorities and constitutes an abuse of authority.
