Finally, Ogun Parents And Students Sign Undertaking On Hooliganism—-Parents of students in public secondary schools in Ogun State have signed an undertaking that their children and wards would not engage in hooliganism.
The undertaking is one of the strategies adopted by the state government to arrest hooliganism and other unruly conducts among students.
Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, told the Newsmen in Abeokuta on Saturday that the development had ensured peace within and outside schools premises.
The commissioner stated that government had redoubled its efforts at ensuring that hooliganism and thuggery were brought to an end in its schools.
He said that government engaged stakeholders including officials of the ministry, head teachers, principals, security agencies, teachers unions and parents to address misconducts by students.
Arigbabu added that the state government had set up counselling centres to take care of students who misbehaved and needed attention and rehabilitation.
“Towards the end of First Term, last year, there were series of misbehaviours in these schools and situations where some parents went to schools to harass officials because their wards were disciplined.
“We started various stakeholders’ engagements with the ministry’s officials, zonal education officers, head teachers and principals of schools, teachers and teachers union; we also had engagement with security agencies.
“To cap it, we decided that parents must sign undertaking of good behaviour by their wards on their behalf as schools resumed for the Second Term,’’ he told
