Speaking at the event held in Dutse capital, the IGP who was represented by AIG Ahmed Ammani of Zone 1 Kano, highlighted the security threats facing schools across the country which have led to the killing of hundreds of teachers, abduction and murder of students, destruction of schools, and disruption of learning.

Egbetokun explained that the Police introduced this initiative to secure school environments against security threats, thereby enhancing access to education for every child in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu-led administration.

In his speech, the National Coordinator of the School Protection Squad, CP Abayomi Shogunle, noted that due to the growing security challenges around schools, over 600 teachers have been reported killed, and more than 2.9 million children are currently out of school across the country.

Abayomi emphasised that the IGP’s initiative is built on three key strategic mechanisms including building infrastructure for rapid response to emergencies in schools, strengthening community participation and collaboration in intelligence gathering and working with sister security agencies to manage threats and create a safer learning environment.
