We Installed CCTV Cameras On Third Mainland Bridge To Stop Suicide Attempts, Sand Excavation, Says Umahi
David Umahi, Minister of Works, has said that the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos is intended to prevent suicide attempts.
The minister spoke on Friday when he featured on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
In February, Umahi announced that the federal government had installed surveillance cameras on the Third Mainland Bridge.
He said security personnel would monitor footage from the CCTV and enforce speed regulations.
During the interview, the former Ebonyi governor expressed concerns about sand excavation beneath the deck of the bridge.
“We have put CCTVs down under the deck so that anybody that is excavating sand within the 10-kilometre radius will be spotted,” Umahi said.
“We have built, beside the bank of the sea on Third Mainland Bridge, an examination house where we have the navy, police, army and local security.
“They will all be there watching the CCTV so that anybody who is trying to take his life on the third mainland bridge, they will spot the person.
“With this CCTV, there will be no more excavation of sand under the deck around the pies.”
The minister also expressed satisfaction with the level of work on the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.
He added that 30 kilometres of the road would be ready for President Bola Tinubu to inaugurate on May 25.
