Governor Abiola Ajimobi during the commissioning exercise
Oyo state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi on Monday commissioned
the Safe City project which includes the siting of Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) cameras in 10 crime-prone areas in Ibadan.
The Executive Secretary, Oyo State Security Trust Fund (OYSSTF), Mr
Femi Oyedipe, disclosed that over N300 million has been expended in
installing the CCTVs across the state to boost security.
The cameras, which feed a control room under a round-the-clock surveillance, monitor actvities at major junctions in the city.
Oyedipe who harped on the need for individuals and organisations in
the state to pay their security levies, assured that with the
installation of CCTVs in 10 sites in Ibadan, additional 10 sites are to
be located in Oyo, Ogbomoso and Saki areas of the state.
He noted that the response had been commendable since OYSSTF began
the collection of the security levy in July. He however urged residents
and visitors in the state to coperate with the government to ensure a
safer and secured environment for all.
