Apparently in furtherance of the decision of the Federal Government that striking university lecturers should return to work latest by December 4, 2013, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered the provision of adequate security around university campuses nationwide.
A statement by the Froce Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said this is designed to help secure life and property in the Ivory Towers and provide enabling environment for lecturers, students, academic and non-academic staff to go about their lawful businesses without let or hindrance.
Mba said the directive is a proactive and confidence-boosting measure designed to ensure that nothing untoward happens “in our academic communities”.
Abubakar directed all Command Commissioners of Police to, personally, oversee the intensification of surveillance activities around universities within their state commands.
The statement said the Cps are to take all necessary security measures needed to provide for the safety and security of staff and students as well as property within the various campuses.
Mba said lecturers, students and indeed all Nigerians within the Institutions are advised to remain law abiding and go about their legitimate businesses without fear of molestation or intimidation from any quarters.
