The Polytechnic, Ibadan, has banned pregnant female students and nursing mothers from bringing babies to classrooms and hostels.
The polytechnic’s decision was disclosed in a morality code signed by its governing council.
It said students hugging each other publicly on campus would be suspended for one semester.
“The school is not a nursing home. Is it right to bring babies into lecture rooms? It is definitely a distraction.
