In a keynote address, the State commandant of NSCDC, Dr Umar Muhammed, emphasised the Corps’ eading role in the implementation of the federal government’s Safe School Initiative.

He expressed concern over the rising security threats in school environments and called for a coordinated and collective approach to mitigate the identified risks.

“The safety of our children, teachers, and school communities is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration between government agencies, educational institutions, and community leaders. This summit is both timely and necessary as it provides stakeholders with practical strategies to enhance school security and emergency response mechanisms,” he stated.

Umar urged school administrators, teachers, students, and parents to actively support government policies and security measures aimed at protecting schools across the 16 local government areas of the state.

He reiterated that intelligence sharing, vigilance, and adherence to security protocols are essential in preventing security breaches.

In their separate remarks, the Balogun Alanamu of Ilorin, Dr Abubakar Jos, and Dr Adekola Abdulazeez of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, stressed the importance of collaboration among school administrators, community leaders, and security agencies in ensuring safe school environments.

They emphasised the importance of community participation, strengthened surveillance, and early warning systems in preventing security threats.

They also called for policy implementation, security awareness, and risk assessment measures within educational institutions in ensuring safe school environments.
