Senior Vice-President, Academics, Babcock University, Prof. Philemon Amanze, has said with the increase in crime rate in the country, providing modern security items and others to ensure the safety of staff and students should be taken seriously by school owners and administrators.
While agreeing that the use of CCTV cameras could not completely eradicate crime, he added that it would definitely serve deterrent purposes.
“As you leave Babcock Academy, Abeokuta today, always remember that God has deposited some talents in you. Always make efforts to develop your skills and potential. All over the world, people are trying to develop multiple skills to be able to survive in the world of an unstable economy. Spend your leisure on those activities or training that will further add value to your life,” he said.
In his message at the occasion, the President/Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof. Ademola Tayo, represented by Prof. Dimeji Alabi, urged the students not to forget the name their set was given, Titan, which mean greatness and strive to live up to expectations.
