Reassurance of Safety Measures for Students and Parents
Dear Students and Parents,
In light of the recent security concerns in the Akungba Akoko community, the management of Adekunle Ajasin University wishes to assure our students and parents that the institution is fully committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all our students, both on campus and in the surrounding host communities.
The management recognizes the seriousness of the prevailing security situation around Akungba community and the impact it has had on our students’ sense of security. The University has taken proactive steps to address these issues in collaboration with relevant security authorities.
We have requested the immediate deployment of additional security personnel, to enhance the patrol of the campus and surrounding communities. This increased presence aims to deter criminal activities and apprehend suspected criminal elements.
The University is also working closely with the Commissioner of Police and other security agencies to develop a coordinated response to the security challenges. Regular meetings and dialogues are being held and strategies developed to ensure that all parties are aligned in their efforts to protect our students.
Furthermore, we are fostering a stronger relationship with the host community through dialogue and collaboration. By involving community leaders and stakeholders, we aim to create a united front against crime and improve on the overall safety of our students and the community.
Additional security measures are being implemented on campus, including more surveillance, improved lighting in critical areas, and regular security patrols to ensure a safe learning environment.
In addition, we are actively engaging with the student body and paramilitary organisations on campus to promote safety awareness. Students are being encouraged to remain vigilant, report any suspicious activities, and take advantage of available safety resources.
We want to reassure that the safety of our students is our top priority. The University management is dedicated to creating a secure environment where students can focus on their studies without fear.
We appreciate the cooperation and patience of our students and parents as we work diligently to address these issues. Your support and vigilance are vital in ensuring that our community remains safe.
Should you have any concerns or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the University’s Security Unit or the Public Relations Unit.
Thank you.
