Lagos State Commissioner of Police Fatai Owoseni has warned students in the state to shun any act of criminality capable of jeopardizing their dreams, charging them to be good ambassadors of the country.
Owoseni gave the warning at a seminar theme: “Inculcating Security Awareness and Discouraging Criminality Tendencies”, organised by the managing editor, Tomorrow’s Leaders Digest.
Owoseni who was represented by the
Area A Commander, Lions Building, Mr Joseph Akinyede police commissioner, also gave the students lessons on security tips that could be helpful to forestall any act of security threat.
The police boss contend that as tomorrow’s leaders, the students must imbibe the right attitude such as submitting themselves to the dictates of the school, teachers, parents and other constituted authorities in order to make the country proud.
He said, “As leaders of tomorrow you should listen to your teachers, parents and elders to be good ambassadors of your school, your parents, the state and the country at large. Shun cultism, stealing, hooliganism, rioting and criminality tendencies,” he advised.
In his remark, the convener, Mr Andy Evbuomwan, while commending the police boss for the lecture, said the programme would be replicated in other schools across the state in a bid to inculcating the right values in the students.
“It is a conscious effort that will positively change the mindset of the soon-to-graduate students for their good and for the good of the
society.
“Together, we can curtail crime in this City of Excellence by working to address it from the grassroots. This programme will serve well for crime prevention without any element of doubt,” he stated.
