Speed camera wey go lost by midnight after installation

150 billion naira was used to acquire cctv cameras for Lagos and Abuja, those cameras had since been vandalised n parts stolen, money burnt.

Jerryojozy:
Good, at least those reckless Dangote drivers will be monitored.

BROS, this is just the hand work of one man sitting and writing a proposal to import a tech which we have no technical knowledge for. What happens when they develop faults? we throw them away and buy another one.

Recession will steal the cameras Oooooh.

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS PRAYERS WHAT HAPPENED TO #POWER GENERATION#? WHAT WILL POWER THE CAMERA?I GUESS A LISTER GENERATOR

This can be effective when all motors in Nigeria are registered on data base system, because there is no way you can get a motor drive above the limit and eventually cut with the camera how will you be able to catch those motor ? it will be during the renewal of there licences or during the transfer of the said car to another person that wish to buy the car from the original owner , anyway this is welcome development without appropriate tools in place .
to me if FG wanna embark on this project without proper tools for implementation, i will considered it as a conduit to loot money

Huh?

/
No be PHCN go power am?

If they go solar, who go maintain am? No be Nigeria for sure.

Sometimes I don't know if d FG is drunk.. D same FRSC dats trying to enforce speed limiters on Nigerian road users? What exactly is going to b d use of d speed cameras wen vehicles have finished installing d speed limiters? And talking of roads dat are barely manageable. Make una dey waste d money wey una say no dey...

Though won't be a bad idea
fix the road first

It's a bad idea but u're partly right dis tym..

Truth234:
The federal government has disclosed it will introduce speed cameras on Nigeria’s roads to help the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) curtail excessive speeding by motorists and improve safe use of the roads.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said this yesterday after he inspected ongoing repair works on the different sections of the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway ahead of the planned closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and diversion of air traffic to the Kaduna Airport.

Fashola also explained that repair works on the road has recorded some impressive progress with 130 out of its 160 kilometres already covered.

Fashola said in a statement from his senior special adviser on communications, Mr. Hakeem Bello in Abuja, that he saw an accident that occurred a day before his visit, and that most accidents on Nigerian roads were not necessarily from failed road networks but from irresponsible use of the roads by drivers who he alleged were less qualified to drive on the roads.

He noted that his ministry would support the FRSC to improve safe use of Nigerian roads, and advocated for the retraining for drivers.

The FRSC, he stated, has continued to address the problem in terms of education, enlightenment and the introduction of speed limiting devices but that his ministry would further their efforts in the short to medium terms by introducing some speed cameras to deter people from excessive speeding.

“I think that it is fair to say that not many people who manage vehicles on our roads are actually trained to manage vehicles on the roads; many people are auxiliary drivers for want of something better to do. There are rules in the operation and utilisation of automobiles,” said Fashola.

The minister also said that it was the job of the government to ensure safe use of roads and that it was not going to give it up.

On the outcome of his inspection, Fashola said the work on the road was an emergency repair and not a reconstruction which he said would come later after an ongoing procurement exercise on it is concluded.

According to him, the repair works would essentially remove the potholes and reduce the risk of accidents.

“The work that is being done here, you must understand this is a road of more than 160 kilometres. We are at kilometre 130 from Abuja. So, the work that is being done as I said is an emergency intervention essentially to remove the dangerous potholes and eliminate potential hazards that could cause accidents for motorists on this road.

“So, the road needs to be rebuilt because it has been subjected to a lot of axle load. But what we are doing right now is emergency repairs to remove the potholes to make the road safe for commuters ahead of the planned reconstruction and repair of the Abuja Airport runway which will lead to a diversion of air traffic and passengers from Abuja to Kaduna which will start on the 8th of March,” he said.

He added that the role of his ministry was to make the road motorable and safe for commuters, and that it would be delivered on time for use.

“You can see that some sections have been resurfaced completely but that is not the main reconstruction of the road; let us be clear about what is happening here.

“The whole purpose of this contract is to cover the potholes on the 160 kilometres road two lanes on one side and two lanes on the other side; so that is really to cover 620 kilometres of potholes; that is a contract for N1 billion.

“So, let’s be clear about that. This is emergency short term. When the Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP) gives the no objection contract, we will start when the airport runway would have been completed,” he stated.

rubbish, they should fix all bad roads first before any step further

Without a proper database system with up to date information of motorists this will be a wasted effort. Unless police are stationed a couple of miles from the camera to apprehend would be offenders

simplemach:
Another wasteful contract just like the Abuja security cameras


How much did the Abuja security cameras cost to install, and how many of them are still standing today?

ask the wailing wailers and their ogogoro master clueless leader

[quote author=Jerryojozy post=53662655]Good, at least those reckless Dangote drivers will be monitored. [/quote major accidents was caused by bad road

Speed cameras to be powered by?

GAZZUZZ:
another waste of tax payers monies, It will end up stolen and vandalized.

the money can be used wisely to provide foods and fix bad roads instead of wasting it on unnecessary

Sick nation .... Sick people.... Imagine the people ruling a nation I came from ... What a shame

So will operate the speed camera's? Is it the same government that could not operate CCTV cameras?? Na wa o! Though I agree that corruption is probably our biggest problem as a nation, incompetence comes a close second. We are generally clueless in this country

Actually it's a fact... many people didn't attend state approved driving schools.

Their pops, friends just taugh them how to 'move' car...

We have few drivers

Cameras on very bad roads. They will not see anybody over speeding. Who wan speed for pot hole? Abi the person wan spoil e motor?

[quote author=Aadeyinka post=53665211][/quote] Understand my comment, I didn't say Dangote drivers are the major cause of accidents on our roads.
