He further disclosed that the posting of security personnel to public schools in the state has begun, a measure he said is aimed at safeguarding lives and property in the schools.

“This is part of the wider agenda of the state government to reform our education system.

“Also as part of the ongoing reform agenda in the educational system, the promise that the state government has made in the past has come to fulfilment with the posting of security personnel to our schools.

“Posting security personnel is aimed at securing the lives and property of both the students, teachers, and the property of the schools involved,” he stated.

Kanu also revealed that a total of 5,746 ASUBEB staff have been earmarked for promotion and said that it is a way to motivate the staff for greater productivity.
