The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, on Thursday ordered security agencies to beef up security in schools, saying abduction of pupils must stop in the state.
He added that his administration had awarded the contract for the construction of perimeter fences in state public schools to enhance security, while also building new blocks of classrooms, as well as renovating about 174 existing blocks of classrooms.
The governor, who spoke at the foundation-laying ceremony of the New Model School in Awori College, Ojo, said the government had commenced the supply of over 40,000 pupils’ furniture on a quarterly basis to clear the identified shortfall of 160,000 furniture.
