Mr Abolurin Oluwaseun, Public Relations Officer, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Lagos State Command, has advised Nigerians to take preventive security measures rather than being reactive to ensure their safety.
Oluwaseun gave the advice on Thursday during a webinar titled โNavigating End-of-Year Security Issuesโ, which was hosted by the Lagos State Branch of the Institute of Safety Professionals (ISPON).
According to him, Yuletide is a time when everyone has something to celebrate, and security becomes extremely vital.
He said that it was also a time when schools need to be safe, noting that security agencies have to be on top of their game to combat escalating threats.
โEveryone should have the right to enjoy safety and security, and when it comes to security, timeliness is important.
โWe must ensure that people who will be travelling are not robbed or attacked by unscrupulous members of the society.โ
