In a move to strengthen its security architecture, operational preparedness and governance framework for a safe, secured and conducive learning environment, Babcock University has signed a security training agreement with Blaze360 Security and Guards Services Limited.
The signing which took place November 2 in the President's office, had the University officers and officials of the security outfit in attendance. Before the signing, President/Vice-Chancellor, Professor Afolarin Olutunde Ojewole, said he was deeply impressed by the rare combination of military excellence, leadership and deep spirituality exhibited by the Blaze360 team.
He pointed out that no chief executive officer of any University that houses and feeds more students in the country like Babcock University would dare to take the issue of security for granted.
"Nobody has ever done something of this nature in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church as what we do, with over 12,000 students that we feed three times daily, with a daytime population of almost 20,000 people," he said.
The Chief Executive Officer of Blaze360 Security and Guards Services Limited, Brigadier General Oluseyi Famakinwa (Rtd), described the MoU as a “milestone in the history of the company” adding, "The company is ready to turn the security architecture of Babcock University into something special and unique that has never been seen before in any tertiary institution.”
