I had a meeting with the Commissioners for Local Government and Chieftaincy, and Internal Security and Home Affairs, about my discussion with the state Governor to ensure that maximum security is provided and as I spoke to you, 34 local government councils will be provided with CCTV cameras to improve the security situation in our local government areas as well as 361 wards will be provided with CCTV surveillance cameras to improve security situation.”
