Bombings: NGO urges introduction of security courses in school

[MrVan]

Lagos – The Federal Government has been urged to introduce security courses in school curriculum.

The Executive Director of Changing the Face of a Nation Initiative (CFNI), Mr Olorunfemi Adedurin, made the call on Sunday in Lagos.

The CFNI is a non-governmental organisation (NGO), which uses prayer to fight corruption and other spiritual enemies of Nigeria.

Adedurin said  that if security courses were introduced in schools, it would go a long way in letting every one become security conscious.

He spoke against the background of the incessant bomb explosions by the Boko Haram sect in some parts of the country.

"It is time the Federal Government introduce security courses as part of primary and secondary school curricula as it is done in Israel,'' he said.

He described the Boko Haram activities as terrible, saying: "they are going sophisticated hence all hands must be on deck.

"So if everyone is security conscious, then they will be a peace in Nigeria. ''

He criticised any call for reprisal attacks on innocent people, saying that would not help the situation.

He also called for the introduction of a "central security land data bank for Nigeria'', stressing that it would enable the government to dictate terrorist and their hide outs. (NAN)
