The Oyo State House of Assembly is calling for stronger security presence in schools across the state, with lawmakers putting the regional security outfit, Amotekun Corps, front and center of that push.
Legislators stressed that Amotekun Corps should work alongside other security agencies to cover educational institutions throughout Oyo State. The call signals growing concern among lawmakers about the safety of students and school environments in the region.
With schools increasingly becoming points of vulnerability across Nigeria, Oyo's assembly is making it clear that protecting learners cannot wait. Whether this call translates into boots on the ground remains the question worth watching.
