Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, has lamented the repeated activities of cultist members and cybercrimes in all higher institutions in the state.
Oyebanji, represented by his Special Adviser on Security Matters, Brigadier Ebenezer Ogundana (rtd), made this known during a stakeholders’ meeting organized by the Nigeria Police Strategic Forum. The programme aimed to train the Schools Protection Squad (SPS) on school security and protection in Ekiti State.
The Governor specifically mentioned the state-owned Ekiti State University (EKSU), where cultism and cybercrimes are rampant. He, however, promised that his government will continue to support security operatives and ensure their best performance in tackling the menace.
Oyebanji equally charged school administrators in the state to redouble their efforts in curbing the menace, promising that his administration will continue to intensify an open-door policy that would guarantee safety of lives and properties in the state.
Earlier, Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Akinwale Adeniran, described security of lives and property as a joint business of both the government and the people in society.
Adeniran explained that the programme, an initiative of the Inspector General of Nigeria Police, Mr. Kayode Egbetokun, aims to guarantee the security of students, teachers, and ensure a safe environment in all categories of schools in the country.
He expressed delight that Ekiti State is one of the few states selected for the take-off of the programme, which will also be launched in Niger State and Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
The programme is geared towards putting an end to attacks on schools.
