Abstract
Insecurity, arguably, is the bane of socio-economic development in Nigeria today. The state of insecurity in Nigeria today is not new to anyone and, although it can be laid on some factors that have been left unchecked for a long time by both government and the people of Nigeria, Information and communication technology became the all-round programme that is applicable in all our day to day activities across the world. Basically, ICT is a phenomenal service that can lead to the enhancement of high multimedia services such as video, text, images and audio files. This paper discusses how computer education tools can be used to ensure that insecurity in Nigerian schools and the society is brought to bay with lots of measures to be taken with the used of information and communication technology. Such tools include, CCTV Cameras, GPRS Tracking/positioning systems among others. The paper also pointed out the prospect of the total overhaul of Nigeria's tertiary institutions toward the promotion of security within the system at all the levels and the application of modern technological tools to provide, enhance and/or boost security situations which will invariably promotes teaching and learning. Recommendations made include; Schools must invest in their security infrastructure to make themselves less vulnerable to kidnappers. Round-the-clock surveillance systems and well-lit surrounding are a turn off for kidnappers, Government should pay more attention to the funding of ICT surveillance etc.
