The deployment of officers of Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency to public primary and secondary schools across the State is to enhance security.
According to its General Manager, Ifalade Oyekan, the initiative is to complement the security situation in public schools to reduce the rate of crime-related activities among students.
Oyekan explained that the introduction of the ‘Stop N Search’ policy before students were allowed access into schools led to the discovery of dangerous weapons and illicit drugs in the bags of some of the students.
He advised parents to complement the efforts of the officers posted to public schools by paying more attention to the activities of their children to reduce negative influence.
