LASG REINS IN UNRULY SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Some unruly SS III students of lreti Senior Grammar School and Falomo Senior High School, who were reported to have gone on a rampage and harassed fellow students, especially the girls after the completion of their West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), have been arrested for their untoward and unguided behaviour.

According to the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Idiat Oluranti Adebule four of the boys involved are already helping the law enforcement agents in apprehending others who participated in the reckless act. She assured the public that extensive investigations will be conducted and all those found culpable will be made to face the consequences of their indiscretion which borders on indiscipline and lawlessness.

Adebule reiterated that the Lagos State Government’s vision of economic growth and infrastructural renewal is hinged on education and this explains the huge investment made by Government in the education sector. Thus, in return, students are expected to be of best behaviour and shun all acts of violence and immorality that can undermine the policy of Government on discipline being entrenched in schools.

She emphasized that the State Government will not take kindly to the reckless attitude of a few unruly students tarnishing the image built over the years and enjoined parents and guardians to warn their children and wards to always act civil while in and out of the school premises.

The Deputy Governor, therefore, directed that all Principals and school heads must continue to institute measures to curb indiscipline in their various schools and warned that failure to act accordingly will result in appropriate disciplinary actions as stipulated in the Public Service Rules.
