The Lagos State Government is utilizing technology to implement and maintain safety programs in schools across the state. The Safe School Lagos Initiative, led by Dr. Bisi Esuruoso, has formed an alliance with agencies like the police and Federal Road Safety Corps.
The initiative has a portal that streams safety information, allowing schools to upload incidents, record, and report things in real-time. The government is also providing cyber security software and tools to prevent children from accessing certain sites while on school premises. The initiative is also using technology for SOS alerts, ensuring that everyone knows about any situation.
The Lagos State Safety Commission, led by Director General Lanre Mojola, has issued safety-compliance certificates to schools that meet minimum safety standards. The commission has also installed safety signages across government technical colleges and tertiary institutions. Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has advocated for cyber security training for children, stating that they need to be aware of the dangers and have proper security training in place.
