Lagos
State Government has banned all forms of dresses that expose breasts, curves
and other sensitive parts of the female body, saying “they are indecent.”
This was
contained in a circular issued by the State Head of Service, Mrs. Josephine
Williams to entire Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, dated February
7, 2014.
The
decision was said to have been taken as a result of worsening cases of indecent
dressing among the state government female public servants.
The
circular however urged all Directors of Finance and Administration, DFAs, to
immediately move against indecent dressing .
The
government in the circular warned that it would begin to take drastic and
punitive measures against recalcitrant public servants who flout the directive.
The
circular added “It has however been observed with grave concern that some
officers have not been complying with this directive. The noticeable
non-compliance of some officers to this directive should henceforth stop as the
extant civil service rules and regulations on proper and indecent dressing
still subsist and will be applied accordingly on flouters”.
The HOS
listed what is contained in the new dress code for female workers and that
skirts that are above the knee should not be worn by public servants.
