The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has issued a strong statement, asserting that Nigeria’s internal security system has failed in its primary responsibility of protecting citizens and ensuring safe learning environments.

In a statement personally signed on Wednesday, NANS National President Olushola Oladoja lamented that the Safe School Initiative had remained ineffective, despite substantial funding and repeated government promises.
Oladoja criticized the decade-long national experience, stating the country has witnessed a “cycle of grief” without justice, reform, or any assurances that students are safe in their classrooms.
The student leader specifically blamed the police leadership for what he described as a broad internal security collapse that has consistently emboldened terrorists to repeatedly attack schools.
To address the crisis, Oladoja urgently called upon the National Security Adviser, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the Service Chiefs to immediately set up a high-level investigation panel to probe alleged insider collaboration that may be aiding the attacks.
