The management of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye in Ogun state, has triggered a wave of reaction over its newly enforced “no bra, no exam” policy.
In a now-viral video on X, school officials are seen assessing some female students, purportedly from OOU, during their ongoing examination.
The female students stood in line and were frisked by school officials to determine whether they wore underwear.
While some students were captured laughing off the situation, others appeared uncomfortable with it.

However, the clip has generated mixed reactions from different X users, including the president of the OOU students’ union.
Some sections of social media users commended the management’s decision. Others argued that the school’s policy is a misplaced priority.

Nice one.
We need to go back to morals.— ƳOPƳc 👑 (@yopy30BG) June 17, 2025
Akan is right. Africa has a rich history in many spheres of life but the origins of braziers & the art of wearing such is European. To link morals to braziers is to inadvertently say that we were incapable of morals until the Europeans brought us bras.We major in the minor in Nig

True. We are forgetting and losing our morals. No home training again, some mothers carry their sagging breast without any shame all in the name of fashion.

Urgent action is needed to address the growing issue of indecency in the country, as it continues to escalate daily. This is good for them.

So, no bra means no brain now? Exams wey suppose focus on books. Why didn’t they care about bras during classes or tutorials?
AdvertisementIf it’s not about education, then it’s just another control tactic masked as morality. Priorities scattered.

For his part, Muizz Olatunji, the OOU students’ union president, better known as MAO, said the policy on indecent dressing has existed for a long time.
Olatunji also shared some pages of OOU’s students’ handbook, where the policy on indecent dressing read: “any dressing by any student which shows sensitive parts of the student’s body, such as breasts, buttocks, nipples and belly-buttons”.
He said the dress code policy encourages modesty among OOU students.
The SUG president, the union, is in dialogue with the school management to devise another means of addressing issues of indecent dressing.
“Regarding the recent discussions on dress code enforcement, OOU student union has engaged with the institution to explore alternative approaches to addressing indecent dressing, focusing on respectful and dignified interactions between students and staff,” he said.
“To emphasise the importance of adhering to the student code of conduct. OOUSUG also urge all female students to also shun indecent dressing that’s capable of making the opposite sex lust after them.
“And per the video you posted, I was expecting your tweet to emphasise on need for alternative enforcement approaches as the exam starts yesterday, but guess the agenda is different.
“No bra. No entry” is not a new policy in Olabisi Onabanjo University. OOU promotes a dress code policy aimed at maintaining a respectful and distraction-free environment, encouraging students to dress modestly and in line with the institution’s values.”
The school management has yet to react to the public’s reactions.
