...and who get electricity/diesel to run 24/7?

What will they use to power it? Maybe ewedu

Governor wey sabi

I hope the sadist terrorist government won't be against this idea

This should be everywhere in Nigeria

Way to go.

The main problem is not even about power supply, but the money to procure the CCTV. Any organization that can afford CCTV should be able to afford solar energy to power it. But how many schools can afford cctv in Nigeria?

fyneguy:


Lol how much is CCTV?

not all schools are financially buoyant, and there are more mushroom schools in the country than the real standard ones.

That's another problem.

A step in a right direction

Very very good idea

After the killing in Owo, the first thing that came to my mind was where is the CCTV footage?
Because what is happening in Nigeria now demands every sense of safety.

And terrorist/criminals will resort to using masks.

And possibly locate all cctv and destroy them.

It will help in nabbing pickpockets/small inexperience criminals.

Not fulani muslim terrorists from the Nigerian Army.

Half-baked solution.

That's what I was saying all the big church and the small one with Mosque needs A CCTV..

Useless solution

Lol in this part of the world people don't take CCTV serious in Nigeria you will hardly see an armed robber going to rob a bank putting on Mask so don't expect doz bunch of terrorists to put on a mask cos dey won't take it serious...
