Three years after the Nigerian House of Representatives initiated a
probe into the N74 billion ($470 Million) Nigeria Public Security
Communications System (NPSCS) project, award by the Federal Government to a
Chinese firm, ZTE, nothing seemed to have happened thereafter, as the project has suffered setback with the massive
vandalisation of major components of the installed equipment.
The NPSCS
project as it is known has within its schedule, installed Close Circuit
Television (CCTV) cameras in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja and
Lagos.Regrettably, the purpose for which the project was initiated has been defeated as no case of terrorism, armed robbery, kidnapping or other such related crimes have been detected using the alleged world-class facilities, as it is applicable in other parts of the world.
