Lagos Motor Parks To Be Upgraded With CCTV

Circuit Camera Televisions (CCTV) will be installed in Lagos motor parks to ensure security in one of the most assailable places in the city.

The information about the forthcoming changes was confirmed by the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State chapter, on Thursday.

The decision to update the surveillance system was taken after the bomb explosion at Nyanya Motor Park in Abuja on 14 April, which claimed several lives and property. Shortly the motorparks will be fenced with wiring and provided with electricity to strenghten security.

Despite the motorparks already have metal detectors chief security officers will be appointed in each of the unit across the state to prevent potential attacks. The chosen security officers will have to undergo special security training at a government appointed centre.

Moreover, the state’s Security Committee along with the NURTW would be inspecting parks to ensure abidence with the plan. The state’s Chairman of the union, Tajudeen Agbede, also warned that the directive is obligatory as the government had promised to take over any park that failed to follow the directive.

“As we pray for protection against bad incidents everyday, we must take action on our part to guard against them,” he stated.
