Mr.T Anonymous:
The Federal Government of Nigeria has concluded plans to collaborate witha safety organization toinstall surveillance cameras in all the major highways across the country. This isin a bid to curtail violationof road traffic laws and ensure there’san eye out to see when criminal activities are being committedon our highways.
A Memorandum of Understanding,MoU, would therefore be signed this week between the government and Risk and Accident Prevention Society of Nigeria, RAPSON in a move that will bring about theinstallation of 10,000 units ofsmart cameras and 13,000 sets of memorycensors on thenation’s highways.
Chairman of RAPSON, Mr Ben Koko Odohofre while speaking ton newsmen in Abuja said the organization was set to employ 300,000personnel to work on the project.
RAPSON is an organization with the objective to save lives andreduce the toll of injuries and death resultingfrom accident and violence on roads.
According to Odohofre, a committee comprising the State Security Service, SSS, the Nigeria Police, Vehicle Inspection Officers, VIO, and Federal Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice and Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, would work with the organisation onthe project.
The Chairman/CEO said the company as a player in the private sector,would source the funds whilegovernment would enforce the project.
“Government would fine offenders whilethe percentageof money realized from the fines wouldbe shared between government and RAPSON. However government would provide its agencies which would drive the project. The police would arrest the offenders whilewe are asking the police for 5,000 men,” hesaid.

without constant electricity this thing can work in this part of the world.

Probably, it'll run on solar or wind. Solar is best at least it'll get to reduce this scorching heat.

*Joking!*

tutu1: Sorry I am being pessimistic, but we don't have street lights on our high ways, we don't have on line data of all vehicles plate numbers and their owners details, we don't have surveillance satellite and most importantly we don't ELECTRICITY TO RUN CAMERA'S so how in Gods name is this project suppose to work? are the CAMERAS for entertainment, please abeg make them give the money to Super Eagles, if them no get use for money

YoungBrain:
Just a few questions

1. would the cameras depend on NEPA/PHCN
2. Can the cameras operate in dark poorly lit highways
3. Who monitors the camera? Civil servants or private sector?
