The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Osun State has urged the state government to deploy more security personnel to schools in remote communities bordering neighbouring states.
The Chairman of the union in the state, Mr Babalola Babatunde, made the appeal on Monday, June1, in Osogbo.
Babatunde said the deployment of additional security personnel to schools in remote areas had become imperative to prevent attacks and kidnappings by bandits. He said he had discussed the matter with the Commissioner for Education and that a meeting had been scheduled for Monday.
Babatunde also said that the national leadership of the NUT had directed all state chapters of the union to embark on solidarity rallies on Tuesday, June 2, to demand the unconditional release of teachers and learners kidnapped in Oyo and other states.
