A final year student of Covenant University, identified as Ibukunoluwa Aina, was forced to shave his beard after his lecturer rejected his look when he appeared to defend his project virtually.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Aina and other students appeared before a panel to defend the project they carried out as part of the requirements for them to graduate from the institution.
When it was the turn of Aina for his defense, one of his lecturers stopped him from the process because his full beard was unacceptable.
The lecturer then asked him to go back and shave the beards and then return for another defence.
The lecturer in the video was heard saying, “Look at the way you’re appearing and you’re saying that you have presented… Aina you have not presented, you have to go and barb, change your appearance”.
His friends shared a video of his supervisor lambasting him over his look during the online project defence.
Thereafter, through his Twitter handle, Aina has revealed that he has carried out his lecturer’s instruction, and that his project defense was a success.
