Nigerian Institute of Technology Bans Pregnant Female Students, Newborns from Campus

Ibadan Polytechnic prohibits pregnant students and nursing mothers from bringing babies into the classrooms and dormitories.

The Technical University’s decision was published in a code of ethics signed by the governing council.

The Institute of Technology said students who hugged each other in public on campus will be suspended for a semester.

His Adewole Soladoye, spokesperson for the Institute of Technology, espoused a strict moral code.

“The school is not a nursing home. Is it right to bring babies into lecture rooms? It is definitely a distraction.

“They are free to have babies. But they should look for a childcare facility for their babies,” he said.

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.
