The University of Ilorin (Unilorin) has initiated a self-defence and combat training program for its criminology students. This initiative, announced by Dr. Adedeji Oyenuga, a Visiting Scholar from Lagos State University (LASU), took place during the inaugural session at the university's sports complex on Monday.
Dr. Oyenuga highlighted that although the training is not yet part of the formal curriculum due to timing constraints, it will be offered as a vocational activity with plans for future integration into the curriculum. He praised the university for its proactive approach in enhancing the practical skills of its students, noting that self-defence is crucial for those studying security-related fields.
