Principals across Ondo State have urged the state government to deploy additional security personnel in schools to safeguard students, teachers and school facilities.
The call for more security was made by a group of school heads who said that the current level of protection was inadequate for the growing number of incidents reported on campuses. They highlighted the need for a stronger presence of police and other security staff to deter vandalism, theft and other threats.
Ondo State, located in southwestern Nigeria, has a large network of primary and secondary schools that serve a diverse student population. The principals’ appeal comes as part of a broader push to improve safety and infrastructure in the state’s educational institutions.
While the state authorities have not yet issued a formal response, the principals’ request underscores the ongoing concern among educators about maintaining a secure learning environment for all stakeholders.
