The police commissioner disclosed that both the private and public schools including those in rural communities in the FCT had already been mapped out for adequate security.

“Besides, we are also bringing in the civilian JTF, vigilantes and hunters into the Safe Schools Initiative. And we are also going to deploy drones that will be going round the schools to ensure security.’’

He said the command had already informed all the principals and head masters of LEA primary schools, including private schools across the six area councils to support and cooperate with the joint security team during the exercise.

The FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, represented by the Director of Security Services of the FCTA, Mr Adamu Buba Gwari, while declaring the training open, noted that the Safe Schools Initiative would go a long way to ensure security of not only the students/pupils but also safeguard the schools’ properties in the territory.
