Lagos needs police secondary school – Directorate

The Directorate of Police Education on
Monday said that non availability of plots
was hindering establishment of a police
secondary school in Lagos State.
The Director, DCP Ibrahim Kabiru, disclosed
this in Lagos that the absence of the school
was a major constraint to continuity.
“There exist police secondary schools in
other zones of the Nigerian Police Force
apart from zone 2, which comprises Lagos
and Ogun states.
“The large number of pupils from the police
primary schools in Lagos needs a police
secondary school to continue to receive
qualitative education.
“It is not proper for us to graduate children
from our primary schools only to take them
to other schools,” the director said,’’ he told
NAN.
The director appealed to the Lagos State
Government and corporate bodies to donate
plots or buildings for the school.
According to him, the directorate will need
an expanse of land or huge structures for
the school which operates a boarding
system to ensure discipline.
“The Directorate of Police Education only
operates a boarding system in its secondary
schools to maintain discipline,’’ Kabiru said.
“We have more mixed schools to give the
children opportunities to compete,
irrespective of their sexes,” the DCP said.
Kabiru said that the directorate had 72
police children schools (primary) and nine
secondary schools.
He noted that two of the secondary and 17
of the primary schools were established this
year. (NAN)
