The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has organised a virtual orientation programme for the first batch of volunteers who will serve in the newly established Surveillance Club in the university.
The Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Professor Lilian Salami, explained that the initiative was borne out of the need to monitor and prevent the occurrence and spread of COVID-19 among staff and students.
Salami added that the volunteers would engage in subtle but firm enforcement of the COVID-19 protocols, instead of using the force of law to drive compliance.

Stakeholders in the education sector, yesterday, told the Federal Government that they are in support of reopening of schools, if all necessary safety measures and facilities are in place to stem the spread of COVID-19.
They include the Nigerian Union of Teachers, NUT, National Parents Teachers Association of Nigeria, NAPTAN, National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, and even the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
The stakeholders were also reacting to the advisory of the the United Nations Education Fund, UNICEF, which said Tuesday that the closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic will impact negatively on the development, safety and well-being of children globally, noting that schools are not drivers of the viral disease.
