Stakeholders at the meeting pledged their commitment to the assignment, noting that the responsibility of keeping schools safe goes beyond government and security agencies and requires the collective support of all residents.
The inauguration comes against the backdrop of recent security concerns in the country, including the kidnapping of teachers and students in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, an incident that remains fresh in the minds of many Nigerians.
The Safe School Project, an initiative of the Federal Government, is expected to be replicated across states of the federation as part of efforts to guarantee that Nigerian students pursue their education without fear of insecurity.
