While praising the efforts and result of President MuhammaduBuhari, administration on the recent onslaught against the bandits and terrorists, which he said had made schools safer of recent, Asefon said NANS would on November 24 convoke Students’ National Security Summit to discuss and agree on modalities to improve campus security by the students in partnership with security agencies.
