Worried by incessant cases of kidnap of secondary school students, the Alumni Association of Federal Government Girls’s College, Akure (FEGGICOLLA) is planning to raise N100m to fight insecurity in their alma mater.

The association’s president, Mrs. Orie Mong Vann who stated this during a press conference in Lagos to herald the association’s 40th anniversary said against the backdrop of insecurity in schools, there is urgent need to improve security infrastructure at various institutions.

She said the fund would be used to provide solar energy to power the classrooms, dormitories, laboratories, street lights and borehole.

“This has become paramount because of recent series of kidnapping that have taken place in various schools in Lagos, Ogun and Borno. We are very concerned about the threat of insecurity to girl-child. We are also hoping to reinforce existing fences. These projects would be handled by the association and also have the school involved in managing the project. For this, we will set up maintenance committee to manage the project,” she said.

Also, the chairman, anniversary committee, Mrs, Oseyemi Fagbamigbe charged the government to fast track efforts to release of students of Igbonla Model college, Epe, Lagos who have spent over 40 days in the kidnappers’ den.

“I think the government should show more seriousness toward the release of the kidnapped children. Also, parents need to support the government, because every hand must be on deck. Parents and teachers must teach children some form of security consciousness and schools should beef up their security personnels,” she said.
