Bring Back Our Girls Founder, Hadiza Bala Usman Bans Mini Skirts, Jean Trousers at NPA

The management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) under the leadership of its new Managing Director, Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman, has reportedly banned its female staff from wearing miniskirts and jean trousers to work.

The development is contained in a statement released by the general manager of NPA where it warned that erring staff will be adequately sanctioned.

The statement reads, “It has been observed that despite the issuance of a couple of circulars vide HQ/GMHR/CON/G.3/128 of 25th August, 2008 and HQ/CR/AD/G.1/3039 of 19th December, 2014 on corporate Dress Code, some employees still indulge in improper dressing to the office.

“For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby reiterated that inappropriate dressings such as tight jeans trousers, cut-off trousers, mini-skirts/dresses, tummy and navel shirt transparent/exposing outfits, spaghetti strapped dresses, mismatched clothes, rubber slippers, tattered shoes and rough hairstyles, (to mention but a few) that are unnecessary distractions would no longer be condoned and will henceforth attract appropriate sanctions.

“In view of the foregoing and to further maintain a positive corporate image of a reputable organisation, all divisional, departmental and sectional heads, especially heads of personnel are once again enjoined to ensure monitoring of compliance of employees dressings with emphasis on decent, moderate and smart national and formal English wears.”

Ms Hadiza Bala Usman was appointed as the Managing Director last month by President Buhari. She was until her appointment, Chief of Staff to Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and also a co-founder of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign.
