In the past week, many Nigerians have been outraged by the death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni, a JSS2 student at Dowen College

, apparently an upscale school in Lekki, Lagos. The circumstances of his unfortunate death are unravelling, but from what has been published in the public domain so far, his demise might be connected to the physical abuse he suffered at the hands of some bullies in his school boarding house. Thankfully, three of the suspects are in police custody .

In the aftermath of the public outrage, the school’s parents’ forum is now asking for certain reforms such as a complete overhaul of the school management and the hostel personnel, and the installation of CCTVs in the school. Good on these parents that they are demanding reforms from the people watching their children. Ideally, it should never take more than one disaster for a society to be awakened to the degree of their vulnerability to certain unfortunate incidents.

That said, it should also not take more than one disaster for states like Lagos to start thinking of better safety practices around school zones. Whether by design or happenstance, some schools are located right in the heart of the busy and poorly-planned city, making both the students and their teachers of those schools quite vulnerable to the hazards of road use.
