Oyo state government has expanded its security control room and city watch facilities at the Oyo state security trust fund headquarters, in Onireke, Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
The state governor, Seyi Makinde who revealed this on his twitter handle, recalled that the expantion was in line with his campaign manifesto.
"This evening, we recommissioned the expanded Security Control Room and City Watch facilities at the Oyo State Security Trust Fund Headquarters, Onireke, Jericho, Ibadan. I reiterated our administration's commitment to making Oyo State safe and secure for all within its borders."
"For those familiar with my statements during my campaign trail, you'll recall that I was going to scrap this entire architecture because the it was like a white elephant project. But I was convinced to give it another shot and today we have been rewarded with a functional centre."
He further stated that, effective steps taken to reconfigure the system has paid off, affaiming that, the state government now owns the facility.
"The entire system has been reconfigured so that we no longer need to pay internet access fees of N3.5 million/month. Also, we have acquired the license for the software for life so no longer need to run the trial version we met. This facility now wholly belongs to Oyo State."
He added that the state security operatives can now fit into the facility.
"We have also expanded the facilities so that the security operatives including the police and civil defence can work from there. At the moment, the cameras in eight locations are working. These include the Lagos-Ibadan Express Road and the Asejire axis."
Makinde said with the latest development inhuman activities will be brought to the bearest minimum in the state.
"With this system, we can easily monitor human and vehicular traffic and even capture number plates of vehicles."
