Security Summit is being proposed by the Ogun State House of Assembly, OGHA, to tackle disturbing trend of insecurity in public schools across the state.
Speaker of the House, Mr Olakunle Oluomo stated this while receiving a non-governmental organisation, National School Crimes Prevention Corps, NSCPC, on a courtesy visit at the Assembly Complex, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.
Mr Oluomo who frowned at the worrisome dimension of crime being perpetrated by some pupils, said the summit will bring together stakeholders in the education sector and security agencies to proffer solutions to the issue.
He promised that the House would give necessary support to enable the corps to succeed in its task of preventing crimes in schools.
Earlier, the Commandant of the Corp, Mr Folayinka Ige, has called for urgent intervention of the Ogun State House of Assembly to prevent the loss of lives and property in public primary and secondary schools, particularly among principals and teachers who are under constant threat from pupils.
Mr Ige appealed to the lawmakers to initiate an enabling law to address the worrisome trend where pupils attack others including teachers with charms and other dangerous weapons.
He solicited the support of all the lawmakers, said the corps had visited over 500 schools in Ifo, Sagamu, Abeokuta and across the country, apprehending pupils engaging in different atrocities.
