Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Igboho has written to Seyi Makinde, expressing his willingness to deploy personnel from his private security outfit to public schools across Oyo State amid growing concerns over insecurity.
According to reports, the proposal is aimed at strengthening security around educational institutions and helping to protect students, teachers, and school communities from potential threats.
Igboho reportedly conveyed his concerns over recent security incidents affecting schools and stressed the need for proactive measures to safeguard learning environments across the state.
The offer comes at a time when stakeholders in the education sector have continued to raise concerns about the safety of students and education workers, calling for enhanced security measures around schools nationwide.
Security experts have emphasized the importance of coordinated efforts involving government agencies, law enforcement bodies, community leaders, and other relevant stakeholders in addressing security challenges and protecting vulnerable institutions.
As of the time of reporting, the Oyo State Government had not publicly announced its position on the proposal. However, the development has generated discussions about community participation and alternative approaches to improving security in educational institutions.
The issue of school safety remains a major concern in Nigeria, with repeated calls for stronger security infrastructure, improved intelligence gathering, and effective preventive measures to ensure uninterrupted learning across the country.
