The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Lagos State Command, has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening security in schools and protecting students, teachers and educational facilities across the state.
The state commandant, Mr Adedotun Sunday Keshinro, gave the assurance at a students’ security summit organised by Redefined Goals Ltd on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Command Secondary School, Ipaja, Lagos.
Keshinro, who was represented by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Corps Oluwaseun Abolurin, said the NSCDC remained committed to ensuring the safety of school authorities, students, host communities and academic institutions.
He stressed the importance of equipping students and school administrators with security awareness, safety tips and the knowledge required to identify and prevent threats within and around their schools.
According to him, the Corps is concerned about social vices and security challenges capable of undermining the learning environment, including drug abuse, bullying, sexual harassment, cultism, vandalism of school property and violent attacks.
He noted that security education and awareness among students were essential to preventing criminal activities and creating a safe environment for academic development.
The summit, organised by Amodu Nofisat, Head of Projects and Operations at Redefined Goals Ltd, also featured the inauguration of students from various schools across the Ipaja axis as security ambassadors.
The ambassadors are expected to promote positive values, responsible behaviour and security consciousness among their colleagues and within their respective schools.
The Initiative brought together representatives of security agencies, government institutions, school authorities, student leaders and other stakeholders to deliberate on safety challenges affecting students and educational institutions.
Agencies and organisations that participated in the summit included the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, Nigeria Police Force, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and Federal Road Safety Corps, among others.
The summit underscored the need for collaboration between security agencies, schools, parents and host communities in addressing threats to the safety and well-being of students.
