Lagos To Install 13,000 CCTV Cameras To Fight Crime

Lagos State said yesterday that plans are underway to deploy 13,000 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras across the state, additional 6,000 streetlights and  security sensors to enhance surveillance and crime prevention.

The plan, the government said, will ensure safety of lives and property of residents.

Commissioner for Information and Strategy Mr. Steve Ayorinde and other top government officials, who broke the news, assured residents that the CCTV would become operational from October.

The commissioner added that the government has concluded plans to decongest traffic along the Lekki-Epe Expressway through the removal of three roundabouts; namely the Fourth Roundabout (Elegushi); Fifth Roundabout (Jakande) and the Eighth Roundabout (VGC).

He said the affected roundabouts would be replaced by the use of traffic lights, expansion of the roads and provision of dedicated turning lanes as well as additional lay-bys.
