............Threatens Them With Suspension

The Federal College of Dental Technology and Therapy, Trans-Ekeulu, Enugu State, has warned female students with pregnancies and those with babies to stay away from lecture rooms.

The college also announced that it had set up a task force to apprehend those found guilty of being pregnant or with babies on the school premises as they would be suspended.

This was contained in a memo by the school signed by the Dean, Student’s Affairs, Mrs Okafor Ngozi on Friday.

The letter, which was addressed to all Heads of Departments and Students, was seen by SaharaReporters on Tuesday.

In the memo, titled, “Zero Tolerance Of Pregnancy Amongst Students”, all female students are ordered to visit the College Medical Center to carry undergo pregnancy tests on resumption for the next academic session.

The letter read partly, “It has come to our notice that some students come to school with pregnancy, while some are seen backing their children to school which is against the College Rules and Regulations.

“I write to inform you that a task force has been set up to this regard and any student found guilty shall be suspended from all academic activities till after delivery while those found with their children within the school premises shall face similar punishment.

“In addition to this, all female students are mandated to visit the College Medical Center to carry out pregnancy tests on resumption for the next Academic Session.

“Kindly bring the content of this memo to all concerned.”

This is madness... What is wrong in being pregnant or with a child as a student!!!?

Even the academic setting in Nigeria gone to the wind. Does being a student imply you can't get pregnant even when you are of age? Abeg, the management should be overhauled asap.

Jealousy. What if they are legally married? University is for adults not kids. Make I sip my tombo

Is pregnancy a disease?

Choose one either pregnancy/baby or school.

This is corruption. You can't combine both.

This is where feminist should rise up... but where you will see is shouting that men should be allowed to contest for election so that they can rule

A court will strike it down as unconstitutional and discriminatory.

What of matured students who decided to go to school at an older age, after marriage? Are they setting age limit for students? I don't understand this law unless they set age limit and once you are older than the required age they won't it you

If it's against the law

Our universities are sometime shameless...
