The Oyo State Police Command has launched a series of initiatives to tackle the recurring clashes in secondary schools in Ibadan.
This move follows a stakeholders meeting held at the command’s headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan.
Speaking, the Commissioner of Police, Joseph Adenola said, the police will conduct regular visits to schools to educate students on the dangers of unruly behaviour, and the command would partner with state government, parents, and other agencies to find solutions to the problem.
Contributing, the Special Assistant to the Oyo state governor on Security Matters, Fatai Owoseeni emphasized the need for parents to take a more proactive role in raising their children.
Also, the Oyo state Commissioner for Education, Professor Saliu Adelabu, urged the government to review the child rights law to enable good training and inculcation of values into children.
These measures were a direct response to the recent invasion of CAC Grammar School by seventeen pupils of Government Technical College, Orita Aperin, Ibadan.
Present at the meeting included, parents, school principals, permanent secretaries, chairman, Oyo Subeb, Nureni Adeniran among others.
