We provide private water for ourselves, fuel our generators, send our kids to private schools, hire 'Mai-Guards' to secure our properties, some even contribute money to patch roads and now we are to install CCTV ourselves, very soon we are going to be hiring private policemen!!

What is the use of the Government then?

tonychristopher: HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE CCTV TO WORK ...HAD ANYTHING EVER WORKED IN NIGERIA FROM SATELLITE ...TO ORDINARY CCTV...WHY CANT THE SATELLITES WE LAUNCHED GIVE US IMAGES IF TERRORIST

MAY THE SOUL OF DEPARTED REST IN PEACE

GOD WILL SET US FREE IJN

Uchiha Madara:

There is nothing wrong in the gov asking for collaboration from everyone.

Even if the cameras they had are working, there is still no way they can possible cover the majority of the city.

Even in the investigative movies you watch, you'd often notice the investigators walk into a private facility like a restaurant or gas station and request their camera feed from the manager in order to solve a crime.

So I'd say they should eagerly pursue this collaboration with the private sector in fostering the prevalence of CCTV throughout the city.

All hands on deck.

rutchiekens:

Stop spoiling madara's name, he is more intelligent than this.

That's if d shop has camera. Pls don't say the part of your comment I made bold in a developed country, they cover every single place.

Talking: This post is not in anyway to support the government or score political points, but to clear the air with respect to the CCTV issue.

1. $470 million was not borrowed to install only cameras. The project is quite encompassing covering about 5 units, CCTV including one of them.

2. The cameras were not installed in Abuja alone, there are about 500 poles containing about 2 cameras each making it a total of 1000 both in Abuja and Lagos respectively.

3. The cameras are not located on every nook and cranny of these states, they are placed in selected places in some parts of Lagos and Abuja.

4. The closest camera along banex plaza is located on the street adjacent to EMAB plaza road by the Chinese restaurant and therefore cannot pick up any footage of the happenings around EMAB plaza.

5. There are trees along the EMAB plaza road also blocking the limited line of sight of the said camera by the Chinese restaurant.

6. Nigeria has 2 functioning satellites a. NIGCOMSAT 1R b. NIGERIA SAT 1X. NIGCOMSAT 1R is a COMMUNICATION satellite and is only used for communication purposes like for GSM back hauling, Internet Broadband, VOIP, Video conferencing, to mention but a few. NIGERIA SAT 1X is an EARTH OBSERVATION satellite which is used for geographic sensing, urban/rural planning, high level landscaping, to mention but a few.
NB: NONE of the above satellites can/was designed for capturing human/moving footage whatsoever.

7. Most of the cameras are very functional, only a few have challenges.

8. There is a monitoring center where the images from the camera is being observed 24/7. These centers are at the Nigerian Force Headquarters, Abuja and the Lagos state Police Command Headquarters, Area F, Ikeja, Lagos.

9. In advanced countries, shops install CCTVs in their environment for their own safety. We can protect ourselves as well, because the government cannot do everything for us.

10. Ask me constructive questions only please, no insults.

Cheers!

THIS IS WHAT I CALL A WAY TO SLAVERY ...DO U WANT NIGERIA TO SELL THEMSELVES TO SLAVERY

Uchiha Madara:

Thank you for pointing this out, unlike some dude that just told me on this thread that in developed countries cameras cover everywhere.

What an ignorant statement. The fact that there are cameras at a lot of places in say Houston Texas for instance, doesn't mean they were all installed by the government.

The cameras covering the humongous parking lots at Walmart, are they also installed by the government?

We should all learn to call a spade a spade, in some cases the gov is obviously corrupt, in this case though, the gov is asking for active participation from the private sector in installing cameras, which any sane person would view as being a good thing.

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, western Nigeria, has unveiled and handed over the newly reconstructed Isopakodowo Market in Oshodi with 64 Close Circuit Television, CCTVs, to provide security for the market.

dazangel11: A bomb blast also occurred in Lagos. Where is the footage? Abi Lagos no install CCTV?

The project emanated from a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) executed between Messrs ZTE Corporation of China and FGN during a state visit to the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC) by the late President, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in March 2008.
