Gombe State University (GSU) has deployed a state-of-the-art Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance system across its main campus as part of efforts to strengthen security and protect lives and property.
The university said the solar-powered, campus-wide surveillance network provides 24-hour monitoring of pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle movements across the institution. The system is linked to the University’s Central Security Control Room and supported by an upgraded walkie-talkie communication network to ensure swift response to security incidents.
In a statement issued on Friday by the University’s Public Relations Officer, Hadu Naphtali Ligari, the Chief Security Officer, retired Lieutenant Commander Jafaru Kamara, described the project as a significant enhancement of the institution’s security architecture.
Kamara commended the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Sani Ahmed Yauta, and the university management for investing in the modern security infrastructure, noting that it would improve surveillance, coordination, emergency response and incident investigations.
