We Intend To Install CCTV On Highways - Buhari Tells South-West Royal Fathers
18:49
President Buhari today held a meeting with the Royal Fathers from the South West region and here is what they discussed.
Today
in my meeting with Royal Fathers from the South West I outlined a
number of measures we are taking to improve security nationwide, as
follows:
We are expediting commencement of our community policing initiative, and revamping police intelligence gathering capacity.
Our
community Policing reform means we will be boosting the numbers of
security personnel — and very importantly recruiting police officers
from their Local Government Areas (LGAs), and stationing them there.
I
will be issuing directives to the appropriate federal authorities to
speedily approve licensing for States requesting the use of drones to
monitor forests and other criminal hideouts.
We also intend to
install CCTVs on highways and other strategic locations so that
activities in some of those hidden places can be exposed, more
effectively monitored and open to actionable review.
Working with
the State governments, we will equip the police force with advanced
technology and equipment to facilitate their work.
We will
continue to bring in our military when needed to complement the work of
the police, including possible deployment of troops on certain highways
on a temporary basis, and the use of Nigerian Air Force assets to bomb
hideouts where criminals are located.
I want to assure all
Nigerians that we will enforce the law, prosecute law breakers and
secure an atmosphere of tranquility for all Nigerians wherever they
choose to live. This is both in our interests as an administration and
the interests of the people who voted us into office.
We
acknowledge the need for security to deliver on our many programmes to
the people. Indeed there can be no prosperity if there is no security.
This is not only a message of hope but a call to action to all of us as
we seek ways to secure our country.
