One of Nigeria’s prominent tertiary institutions, The Polytechnic, Ibadan has banned students from carrying “cross bags” otherwise known as shoulder bags and cross-body bags.
Cross bags or crossbody bags are a type of bag that rests against the body with the help of a strap that comes across the body.
The ban is contained in an internal memorandum from the directorate of students’ affairs and issued on Thursday, January 19, 2023, which was signed by Gboyega Odejobi, Deputy Registrar Students Affairs (SA).
According to the memorandum which SaharaReporters sighted on Friday, any students that violated the ban on campus will be sanctioned.

“In view of the above directive, all students are advised to comply with non-carrying of CROSS BAG on campus, as any contrary behaviour to this directive would be appropriately sanctioned.”
