President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the deployment of advanced surveillance technology to address insecurity and crime in Imo and other southeastern states.
Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, disclosed this to State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with the President at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
Uzodimma said Buhari’s approval would usher in the use of advanced surveillance equipment to fight insecurity without collateral damage.
The tools, he said, would soon be delivered to the South-East.
“I also appealed to him for further support, to help us with some technological deployments we have planned to be able to use as an advanced kind of security control in the South-East. And he has also given his approval to that.
“And in a moment from now, we will be getting some surveillance equipment and some modern technologies that will help us manage security so that we can fight crime with little or no collateral damage to the environment,” the governor explained.
