Oyo Extends CCTV Coverage To Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

In order to improve   the security and safety of lives and property of residents, Oyo State government has expanded coverage of its Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance coverage

The new coverage area, which now stretches to the two toll-gate areas, including the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the Asejiri end of the Ibadan-Ife Expressway, is to help in security as well as traffic management.

The CCTV project, which was started by the last administration, only covered major red hot zones of the state. The areas include Beere, Molete, Oke-Ado, Challenge, Iwo Road, Agodi Gate, Ojoo, Mokola, Mapo and Sango.

A telecommunications mast to enhance signal and flow of communication from the cameras and control room was also installed to replace the dependence on the use of Internet, which has been costing the government N3.5million monthly.
