According to The Punch, the National Safe Schools Response and Coordination Centre says more security personnel will be deployed to schools to strengthen protection and deter attacks amid kidnapping concerns.
Officials say the approach blends intelligence-led operations with visible security measures to reduce school vulnerability in high-risk locations.
On its official platform, the NSSRCC describes its work as enhancing security for schools through coordination with security agencies and rapid response mechanisms.
The Guardian Nigeria has previously highlighted gaps in school protection and warned that many schools remain exposed despite funding announcements, keeping pressure on implementation.
Analysis/Echotitbits take: School protection announcements are common—execution is the real test. Watch for state-by-state coverage, quick-response effectiveness, and whether community early-warning systems and safe transportation measures actually reduce abductions and attacks in the next quarter.
