Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) has called on the Federal Government to initiate a policy that would encourage the use of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in all motor parks across Nigeria.

The RTEAN National Chairman, Alhaji Musa Isiwele, while speaking yesterday said it would help in curbing crime at the parks, stating that if CCTV cameras were installed in motor parks, it would enable security agencies to monitor the activities in them and ensure safety of lives and property of commuters.

He said that such places could also be built to serve as relaxation centres that would not only generate revenue for the country, but create employment for the unemployed youths. “Every motor-park and garage should have the compliment of all security agencies, including the fire service.

“The CCTV camera will serve many purposes, curtail the activities of hoodlums and monitor the environment. “Government can generate revenue from these garages if they are kept secure and sometimes used as tourist attraction,’’ Isiwele said.
