Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, says the Nigeria Police Force is taking responsibility for strengthening security in schools as the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) flags off its Safe School Programme nationwide. Speaking in Abuja at the programme’s launch, Disu tells parents that children are safe and that police efforts will help improve protection around schools.
Both outlets report that the launch is part of a broader, countrywide initiative coordinated through the PCRC. Vanguard describes the event as a formal flag-off, while The Punch similarly highlights Disu’s reassurance to parents in the context of the PCRC’s Safe School Initiative. The coverage focuses on the police role in school safety and the message to families, rather than providing detailed information on specific operational steps, timelines, or scope beyond the national rollout.
Overall, the two reports agree on the same core facts: Disu makes a public safety assurance at the Abuja event, and the PCRC launches the Safe School Programme/Initiative as part of a nationwide effort to secure schools.
