The management of The Polytechnic Ibadan in Oyo State has said that it will no more allow its students in the us of cross bags on campus.
This was contained in an internal memorandum released by its Directorate of Student Affairs and signed by the Deputy Registrar (SA), Gboyega Odejobi, on Thursday.
The management warned in the memo, which was titled, ‘Prohibition of carrying cross bag by students on campus,’ that any student found disobeying the directive would be appropriately sanctioned.
It read:
“This is to keep you informed that Management has banned carrying of cross bags by all students on the campus of the institution henceforth.
“In view of the above directive, all students are advised to comply strictly with the non-carrying of cross bags on campus as anyone found going contrary to the directive will be appropriately sanctioned.”
A cross-bag, or crossbody bag, is a type of bag that rests against the body with the help of a strap that comes across the body. It is designed to be worn on one side of the body with the strap looped over the opposite shoulder.
