Why placing surveillance cameras on bad highways? Another misplacement of priority? A easy looting avenue?

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.

while do you need so many police, if you installed camera and violation occur, the camera snap the scene, send it to the server, the plate number is processed and ticket send to the offender address. the offender go online use his/her visa card to pay, thats end the long story.

Cameras on lousy and pot hole filled roads!!?!?!!?! Omase ooooo!
Wonders shall never end in this 9ja.

its a good idea , smart camera tht ll be lovely but they ll still embezzle money , smart camera with smart software + real online shit

kiyosaki1: What's needed is just a handful drones fitted with very hi definition camera that can pick the type of phone you are carrying from as far as 1000m, but Our leaders are just too lazy to update themselves with the latest happenings in the technology world

Talk is cheap...

A case of misplaced priorities and another avenue to loot from the masses.
Please fix all potholes first, then create alternative roads and make sure the driver's license issuance and vehicle inspection system is well regulated.
After those extremely important steps, you fix as many cameras as you deem fit.

We hardly learn as a nation!

Dem go thief all the cameras 1 by 1 and sell them. Free cameras for thiefing
