Governor Peter Mbah has proposed to spend N10 billion to install CCTV cameras in strategic locations in Enugu to enhance security.
Chris-Roberts Ozongwu, the commissioner for budget and planning, stated this in a document issued on Saturday after a breakdown of the 2025 budget estimates.
The government recently presented a budget of N971.08 billion, with N837.94 billion as capital expenditure and N133.14 billion as recurrent expenditure.
Mr Ozongwu explained that the high-tech CCTV cameras and searchlights would be placed at bus stops and junctions in densely populated areas and major highways in Enugu.
He also stated that the cameras would be linked to a centralised monitoring system for effective monitoring and coordination of the entire security system in Enugu.
According to him, the latest technology-backed security system is meant to make the state safe and secure, thus making Enugu State the number one destination for net-worth Nigerians and foreign investors to do business and live peacefully.
“The government will also spend N5 billion for the procurement of official and security vehicles in 2025 and this will complement the already huge investment in over 100 security vehicles in the state.
“There will be another N1 billion for upgrading and equipping Enugu State Security Outfit (training and retraining of security personnel, procurement of vehicles for security monitoring), among others,” he added.
In agriculture, the commissioner stated that the government had earmarked N20 billion for the purchase of 1,000 tractors and other implements to promote mechanised farming.
“The state will be spending N52.5 billion for clearing and development of 100,000 hectares of land for three Special Crop Processing Zones.
“The state is to spend N1 billion on revamping its tractor leasing company and N2 billion for the construction of farm estates across the state, among others,” he added.
