The Principal of the Federal Government College (FGC), Ijanikin, Lagos, Tofunmi Akamo, has said the school is considering increasing the school’s perimeter fence to check truancy and other forms of indiscipline among the students.

Akamo stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos following a recent incident of misconduct by some college students.

The FGC has since sent out six students who were allegedly involved in acts of immorality in a hotel around the school.

Akamo, who is also a lawyer, said the students would not be returning anytime soon, adding that when they do they will be made to sign letters of undertaking to be of good conduct.

“As a result of what happened, we are not leaving any stone unturned in our efforts to maintain standards, both morally and in academics.

“We have put other measures in place to further check the excesses of students, within and outside the college.

“For instance, some members of the community have been engaged to further monitor movements and activities of these students on a daily basis,” she said.

The FGC principal stressed that the college would not cover up any indiscipline by any student irrespective of who is involved.

“Disciplinary measures for students does not mean destroying them. “We will continue to do everything within our power, to ensure that we do not compromise standard,” she said.

Akamo added that all that the school was doing was striving to produce a generation of future leaders that would bring the much-desired national transformation and growth of the country.
