Background of the Study
In an increasingly digital world, the security of school premises is becoming a critical concern. In secondary schools in Makurdi, Benue State, security systems are often inadequate, with traditional methods such as security personnel and manual attendance registers proving insufficient to ensure the safety of students, staff, and school property. Biometric security systems, such as fingerprint and facial recognition technology, offer an advanced and reliable solution for securing school premises.
Biometric security systems use unique physical characteristics to verify identity and grant access. These systems are more accurate and secure compared to traditional methods, as they eliminate issues related to identity theft, impersonation, or unauthorized access. This study investigates the adoption and effectiveness of biometric security systems in secondary schools in Makurdi, Benue State, and examines how such systems can enhance safety and security.
Statement of the Problem
Secondary schools in Makurdi struggle with ensuring the safety and security of students and staff due to the limitations of traditional security measures. Incidents of unauthorized entry and lack of reliable tracking of attendance and movements within the school premises remain a concern. There is a need for a more secure, automated, and accurate method of controlling access to school facilities. The adoption of biometric security systems may address these concerns by offering a higher level of security and accountability.
