Abstract

The focus of this study was to determine the relationship between security personnel 
training, compensation and environmental security in Universities in Oyo State. The 
sample for the study comprised of thirty six security personnel respectively across three 
tertiary institutions in Oyo State; University of Ibadan, Ladoke Akintola University, 
Ogbomoso and Lead City University out of the four institutions in Oyo State (University 
of Ibadan, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Lead City University, 
Ibadan, Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo,).The data collected was used to test two 
hypotheses, the descriptive statistics was used.The compensation-environmental security 
personnel training questionnaire was used for the study (CESPT) r = 0.821. Hypothesis 
one showed that r = (0.074), p<.05. Since p< 0.05, the null hypothesis was rejected and 
therefore conclude that there is a significant relationship between training of security 
personnel and the environmental security of Universities in Oyo State.Hypothesis two 
showed that r = (-0.038), p<.05 (0.035). Since p< 0.05, null hypothesis was rejected and 
therefore conclude that there is a significant relationship between compensation of 
security personnel and the environmental security of Universities in Oyo State. It is 
therefore recommended that security personnel should undergo regular trainings and 
they should be better compensated as this will encourage them to be hard working.
