The delegation of NANS which was led by the State Chairman, Comrade Olusesi Tolulope highlighted some of the challenges students are facing at the hands of security agents around the State.
He appealed for synergy between the Association and the Taskforce to foster peace and security in the society.
According to the Leader of the Delegation, “Students in Lagos and Nigeria at large are facing communication breaches, harassment, and misrepresentation from security agents. These are some of the reasons we have come to appeal to you as a father, to foster a harmonious relationship between the students and security agents particularly the Lagos State Taskforce which is a frontline enforcer of Laws in the State, would give room for proper coordination and swift passage of information between both bodies.”
The Chairman of the Agency, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Shola Jejeloye, who was delighted to receive the students expressed his willingness to work with them in ensuring their environment is safe and secure enough for them to carry out their studies without any form of hindrance from any criminal elements.
Jejeloye said: “I appreciate your ingenuity and initiative in fostering harmony in our society. I will give you all the necessary support you need to succeed and ensure that all issues brought up are dealt with holistically. You are the leaders of tomorrow, so it is only right for us to make sure that nothing hampers the process of attaining greatness for the Nigerian student.”
The Chairman urged them to keep up the good work and shun any form of criminal activity which is gravely frowned upon by our society.
“You have started out on a beautiful note, and I urge you to carry on this way. Exhibit decency in everything you do because in life, you will either be remembered for the problem you caused or the problem you solved. We will support you and guide you to know that crime is not a career.”
