A.B.U sets strict social rules.

The administration of Ahmadu Bello University has issued a directive to all female students through the security department, prohibiting hugging of male students on campus grounds. the act which in ABU is seen as a mode of greeting between students of the opposite sex(mainly christians as the islamic religion and the northern culture don't smile at it) has been frowned at for a while now by the school authority. the prohibition of hugging though seems to come from the increased rate of sexual immorality as a security personnel who begged to remain anonymous stated. He said it had been fully enforced on the school's annex campus in Kongo where the Law and Administration faculties are. He also went on to add that any set of students caught in the act will be treated as though they were "caught having sex in public". It should be recalled that last year there was a report that stated that students will be made to wear uniforms on campus soon, and this seems to be gathering up steam. What the students' reaction will be still remains to be seen as there is no clear representation of the student body aside from the school's created SRC (Students' Representative Council) which many students believe are just figure heads.
