Academic research and safety matters

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Academics politicians and civil servants and Safety : waiting for the nigerian Army? Let's not wait for the nigeruan army to do that is needful .Academics have a duty to step up research not only on security but also on safety.this explains why I invited the now chief of army staff ,major General lagbaja to see how safety measures are put in place at the university of east london.this time fire safety. Lagbaja had organised a workshop on firesafety after seeing nigeria loosing 1 trillion naira in 2022 to fire!Can we have civilians stepping forward to organise workshops to eradicate or reduce this menace of accidents to a reasonable level.one death is too many.
