The Ogun State Government has activated the Safe School Initiative in line with the Federal Government’s directive, as part of efforts to enhance the security of students, teachers and other school personnel amid growing security concerns across the country.
The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, disclosed this on Wednesday while speaking on Frontline, a current affairs programme on Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese-Ijebu.
Arigbabu said the initiative is being implemented through a multi-stakeholder approach involving security agencies, host communities and relevant government institutions to strengthen safety in public schools across the state.
According to him, the state has constituted a Safe School Committee to coordinate the implementation of the initiative and complement existing security measures.
