The Assistant Inspector General of Police
in charge of Zone 2, AIG Kayode Aderanti, mni has encouraged schools to
invest more in the security of their facilities.
He made the call at the security lecture
he delivered to stakeholders, who included parents/guardians and
management, of Corona School, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Amongst other things, the AIG urged school
owners to have functional Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) effectively
covering their entire facility.
He also charged school managements to do
thorough background checks of their teaching and nonteaching staff
before employing them, assuring them that the police was always
available to fully deploy the services of its Central Criminal
Registry (CCR) in this regard.
In addition, AIG Aderanti, mni called on
school managements to interface with the nearest police division,
conduct regular drills in preparation for emergencies, participate
actively in the Police Community Relations Committee
(PCRC) and the recently launched Eminent Persons Forum.
On the part of government, AIG Kayode
Aderanti, mni suggested that security should be made one of the
requirements in the issuance of licences to schools.
The school management, parents and
guardians expressed their appreciation for such an opportunity, where
they got answers to long standing questions and learned new things about
security and the Nigeria Police.
