Kano Donates Communication Centre to Police
Command
Kano state government has constructed and equipped a multi
million Naira ultra modern communication center, at the state
Police Command Headquarters in Bompai, the state capital.
The project comprises digital satellite equipment and sensor
technology, among other infrastructure, aimed at consolidating the
security system in the state, which is the most populous in
Nigeria.
Inspecting the center, the state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar
Ganduje explained that the project aims to track criminals and deal
with all forms of security challenges before they escalate.
“Security related decisions require correct and timely
intelligence as well as detailed understand of the situation on the
ground. That is why we must deploy ICT in security management”, the
governor stated.
“This facility will serve not only assist in tracking criminals
in Kano but will also cover parts of Jigawa, Katsina, Kaduna and
Plateau states. This is in addition to another multi – million
Naira equipment we provided to the state command of the DSS, which
has been assisting us in tracking criminals in the state”, he
added.
Dr. Ganduje explained that the coordinated effort, among
security agencies, to tackle security challenges in Kano, had so
far yielded positive result citing the rescue of Magajin Garin
Daura and arrest of a number of kidnappers as classic examples.
According to him, “Kano is now one of the most peaceful states
in the country because of the level of coordination between
security agencies and the level of cooperation given to them by the
state”.
He announced that a security summit would soon be convened in
the state as a means of consolidating the previous gains in
security management, appealing to the people to always join hands
with security operatives in order to make Kano a better place for
all.
In his remarks, the Acting Commissioner of Police, Kano Command,
Mr. R. G. Ubani pleaded effective utilization of the center for
improved security services in the state and beyond.
“This center is well equipped with modern facilities and it is
helping us in conducting surveillance, successful search and rescue
operations,” he stated.
