Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Osun State has urged the state government to deploy more security personnel to schools in remote communities bordering neighbouring states.
Chairman of the union in the state, Mr Babalola Babatunde, made the appeal while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Osogbo.
Babatunde said the deployment of additional security personnel to schools in remote areas had become imperative to prevent attacks and kidnappings by bandits.
He said he had discussed the matter with the Commissioner for Education and that a meeting had been scheduled for Monday.
“The governor and his executive council have been proactive and committed to the development of education in the state.
