The House of Representatives member, representing PDP- Ibadan North-West\/South-West Constituency,\u00a0 Hon Adedeji Olajide, has said the lingering challenge of insecurity in Nigeria can be checked through the use of drone technology like satellite planes.
\nOlajide, who stated this recently in an interview with newsmen\u00a0 in Ibadan, said plane drones could be deployed to the forest to locate and trace the movements of the bandits, cattle rustlers and kidnappers hiding in the forest.
\nAccording to him, Nigeria can actually comb the entire forest with the help of technology to detect the movement, location and image of those suspected criminals disturbing the peace of this country.
\n\u201cMost of the bandits, cattle rustlers, kidnappers and armed robbers use cell phones and with the help of these technologies, we can locate and trace their movements and get them out of their hideouts.
\n\u201cIn the United States, everybody\u2019s conversation is recorded, they have a huge data centre, they can record and track you, as well as monitor your activities through those gadgets and we can apply same in Nigeria too.
\n\u201cWhen we record their conversations, we can now use the judiciary to access that data, because ordinarily, you cannot access or use that data unless you apply for it through the court\u201d, he said.
\nOlajide, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Bentley Energy Nigeria limited, said Nigeria will become a secured nation when people are no longer involved in crime and corruption.
\nHe added that technology could also help in curbing, to a reasonable level, evil vices ravaging the nation.
\n\u201cThere are so many duplication in our budgeting system: somebody will sit down in an agency in Abuja and decide which project should be sited in Ibadan without coming to Ibadan.
\n\u201cl am confident and resolute that Nigeria will change for the better with the help of technology. We can use technology to curb election rigging, have a repository centre of all data and that is what we are suppose to be doing, but it was not being done; two people can\u2019t be alike, the finger prints are different\u201d, he said.
\nAccording to him, there are so many things the country can do to capture and place in the data base and figure out the duplications.
\n\u201cAll these fraudulent account operators can be fished out and that is how we can use technology to secure our society\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
