Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State said on Wednesday that the introduction of technology in addressing the security challenges in the country was necessary if the fight is to be won.
“Since crime has gone to the next level in Nigeria, strategy has to go to the next level,” he said while receiving the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, in Kano.
The governor said it was in consideration that the state government installed CCTV in some strategic places in Kano to secure the lives and property of people.
“We have installed CCTV all over the metropolitan city and now laying optic fibre to complement the satellite services.
“We also have trackers, and at the major entrance of Kano metropolis, we built security dormitories where we have several security agents manning the major entrances,” he said.
The governor also said the government established the Ruga project at Dansoshiya forest that share border with Katsina State.
According to him, herders have now settled there; it will be difficult for any bandit to make the forest his home.
“Coming to one of the biggest forests in the country, Falgore forest, we established military training ground, and it is now working,” he said.
Earlier, IGP Baba had told the governor that he was in the state in connection with the passing out ceremony of  Cadets of  Nigeria Police Academy Wudil, Kano.
He commended the state government for providing security agents with enabling environment to secure lives and property.
He explained that it was when there was security that there would be peace, hence the need for all stakeholders to join hands to secure the state. (NAN)crime
