Following the killing of 40 students in a
terrorist attack on College of Agriculture,
Gujba, Yobe State, where students were shot
dead in their dormitory, authorities are
taking measures to improve security around
schools, including stepping up patrols and
putting armed soldiers outside them and
guarding school buses.
The move, according to government sources
on Monday, is aimed at restoring confidence
in the Western style schools that have seen
scenes of bloody massacres by Boko Haram
militants who say western education is sin.
According to a presidency source, President
Goodluck Jonathan met senior security aides,
Sunday, to discuss how to respond to the
latest deadly shift in tactics by the
insurgents.
“At the meeting, they decided to provide
special security cover for schools in the
North-East and some other places prone to
possible attacks.
“The president is not happy. He directed
security chiefs to work out a new strategy so
this doesn’t happen again,” the source said.
Mohammed Lamin, Yobe State Commissioner
for Lower Education, speaking on the security
measures noted; “For now, the state
government has directed all round security
surveillance on all schools across the state”.
He added that “the security agencies need to
step up their operations to protect lives and
property.”
