N7.7bn Drones Still Grounded While Children Remain Missing in Oyo

Nearly 40 students have been missing since May and a maths teacher was tragically beheaded. Yet Governor Makinde’s N7.7bn drone fleet is still in final assembly stages, with operations scheduled only by the end of June. This delay isn’t about malice but about a system that rewards slow responses. Like the infamous Stanford prison experiment, good leaders can turn passive when the structure gives them ‘permission’ to wait for endless approvals. We need urgent change. Drones should be airborne within days, real-time surveillance must start now, and federal forces must act without waiting for more state-level plans. Political delays must carry real consequences so no child is left behind in the forest.
