Lagos Students Trained on Digital Safety and Online Security

The Lagos State Government has kicked off a digital safety campaign aimed at educating students on how to navigate the online world responsibly and securely.

The programme, held in Education District II, provided students with practical lessons on avoiding common online dangers such as scams, cyberbullying, and the sharing of personal information. Experts emphasised the importance of using social media and other digital platforms wisely.

Officials described the campaign as part of a broader effort to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to make safe choices online, especially as more students rely on digital tools for learning and communication.

Teachers and youth coordinators who led the sessions encouraged students to report any suspicious online activity to adults or authorities and to adopt safe practices in their digital interactions.

The initiative underscores the state’s commitment to preparing its youth to thrive safely in an increasingly connected world.
