Why we barred
females from wearing trousers
By Taye Obateru
Jos-The Plateau State Government has said the barring of
females from wearing trousers at the state secretariat and other government
offices was part of the campaign against indecent dressing.
Head of Service in the state, Mr. Moses Gwom who gave the
clarification in an interview with newsmen said it was also in line with the
10-point agenda of Governor Jonah Jang's administration of which ethical
re-orientation was one.
He said indecent dressing by females should not be
condoned in offices where government business were conducted hence those
considered not to be properly dressed were turned back from the secretariat.
The policy which started over a year ago has seen many
women sent back from the gate of the Joseph Gomwalk Secretariat and other
government offices for wearing trousers or other dresses considered indecent.
A woman who was once turned back from the secretariat
described the experience as "embarrassing" arguing that she did not
consider wearing of trousers as indecent.
She told Vanguard that rather than a blanket ban on the
wearing of trousers by women, what was considered indecent should be well
defined so as not to embarrass people unnecessarily.
She said: "On the day in question, I was wearing a
trouser suit which is an acceptable mode of formal dressing anywhere in the
world, but I was turned back and could not transact the business for which I
went there".
