Lagos State Government yesterday disclosed that it has commenced
installation of 13, 000 Closed Circuit Television, CCTV, cameras, aimed
at boosting security in the state.
The government explained that the installation would be in phases,
saying, we have commenced installation of 300 in the first phase.
Commissioner for Science and Technology, Mr Olufemi Odubiyi, disclosed
the number of CCTV cameras installed at the 2017 Ministerial Press
briefing to mark the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode’s second year in
office.
He lamented that the government was forced to review the strategy for
the installation of the CCTV cameras across the state, following
scarcity and fluctuation of forex in the country. The government last
year unveiled plans to install the CCTV cameras across the state.
