Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Retired Brig. Gen. Sani Usman on Thursday advised federal authorities to install cameras on telecommunication masts to check insecurity.<\/p>\n

The former Army Director of Public Relations said the cameras can be used to monitor bandits and terrorists.<\/p>\n

Usman made the suggestion at the 11th National Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Institution of Space Engineers (NISE) in Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federal Government should consider the installation of cameras on telecommunication masts that are within kidnapping and banditry prone areas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Usman also called for policies and strategies on security that are science and technology based.<\/p>\n

The retired General noted that while the government tackles banditry and kidnapping, preventive measures must be mapped out.<\/p>\n

The deployment of Information, Communication Technology facilities, according to him, would aid intelligence and operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NISE should intensify collaboration with security agencies to expand space technology to address challenges in Nigeria\u201d, he urged.<\/p>\n

Usman charged National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and other relevant regulatory agencies to deploy assets to secure the country.<\/p>\n
