Dr. Wahab noted the College processed and obtained TETFund sponsorship to install CCTV cameras on the perimeter fences of the College as well as approaches to buildings including male and female Hostels.

“The CCTV Project came about as a result of attacks of students in the night, especially female students.

“For the records, the College had experienced breaches of the female hostels by hoodlum at night on several occasions.

“With the recent security challenges, the College processed and obtained TETFund sponsorship to install CCTV cameras on the perimeter fences of the College as well as approaches to buildings including male and female Hostels.

“The installation of the CCTV system is just underway, yet to be completed and not yet active; therefore, no student privacy could have been breached by the system rather it was an installation done purely for security reasons.” He said.
