Hooliganism: Parents To Sign Undertaking On Students
The Ogun State Government has made parents and guardians of students in its public secondary schools sign an undertaking that their children and wards would not engage in hooliganism.
This is to checkmate unruly behaviour by Students across schools in the state.
The State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Abayomi Arigbabu, told journalists at the weekend, that the development had ensured peace within and outside school premises.
“To cap it, we decided that parents must sign an undertaking of good behaviour by their wards on their behalf as schools resumed for the second term.
“Warrants were also made to confirm that whoever came to sign for the students would be ready to submit erring ones or subject themselves to all forms of discipline in school,’’ Arigbabu said.
While noting that the undertaking was one of the strategies adopted by the state government to arrest hooliganism and other unruly conduct among students, the commissioner stated that the government had redoubled its efforts at ensuring that hooliganism and thuggery were brought to an end in its schools.
He said that the government engaged stakeholders including officials of the ministry, headteachers, principals, security agencies, teachers unions and parents to address misconducts by students
Mr Arigbabu added that the state government had also set up counselling centres to take care of students who misbehaved and needed attention and rehabilitation.
Recall that in November 2021, rampaging secondary school students in Abeokuta smashed the head of a police chief who was leading his men to quell an inter school riot.
