Anambra State Government Donates 110 Innoson Vehicles To Security Operatives, Launches Operation Kpochapu 2

The governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano commissioned the Operation Kpochapu 2 and launches the SMART CITY SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM in Anambra with 111 Smart Security Vehicles and over 70 Smart motorcycles for the Nigerian Police, Navy, Army, DSS, NSDC, correctional services, immigration services etc.

The governor appointed a retired Airforce General, Air Vice Marshal, Ben Chiobi, an experienced Fighter Pilot, as Special Adviser to spearhead and administrate the Creative Security policy.

Since coming on board Akpokuodike’s team, the AVM, working in concert with others, has come with the Anambra State Integrated Security Surveillance (ANISS), a platform for unveiling the creative security solutions powered by ICT.

Essentially, Operation Kpochapu-2 involves the provision of improved logistics support and motivation for the Police and other security agencies that operate jointly in a coordinated fight against crime and criminality. A total of one hundred and eleven cars, trucks, buses and 71 motorbikes form the crux of the renewed approach. The vehicles are already fitted with Communication gadgets, special light effects and other equipment for effective operations. The motorbikes will help reach areas not easily accessible by cars.

On the other hand, the ANISS will emplace a multimedia crime-fighting package that integrates pictures, videos and data analytics against the hitherto limiting system of reliance on reports and voice evidence. Amongst other operations, the ANISS will also articulate all emergency calls and wider surveillance footage in real-time enabled by a sophisticated system in key locations/hotspots across the state. Anambrans are encouraged to access and make calls through toll-free number 112 to report any emergencies for quick response by relevant security agencies.

It is worthy of note that all the vehicles were being supplied by Innoson Motors Company which has its headquarters in Nnewi. 

These are pictures of the donated cars and gadgets below...

See What Okada Riders In Onitsha Turn Their Bikes To After The State Govt Banned Them - Photos

Who says Nigerians are not creative? Irrespective of our tribes and religious affiliation, one thing is common in all Nigerians, Greatness! For those who live and base in Onitsha, it is a common knowledge that Okadas are banned in Onitsha. According to reports, the state government announced the banning of Okada operations from July 1.

In a statement by the Press Secretary to Governor Willie Obiano, Mr James Eze, the decision was one of the resolutions reached at the state executive council meeting.

He said it was part of the overall strategy adopted by the government to deepen its crackdown on crime and restore sanity in Onitsha and Awka.

But those in Onitsha seems to have another plan for the state government, just as the popular saying says, when life gives lemon, make lemonade out of it, this is what the Okada riders did by turning their Okada into tricycles... Money can't waste.

In some viral images obtained by AutoReportNG, we noticed that the tricycles were constructed locally and they look good. we see some level of creativity

Obiano Inspects A Plastic Bridge in Vienna

Governor Obiano was in Vienna early July and he visited a bridge built with plastic materials picked out from waste dumps. This is the Ponte Cagrana bridge. Ponte Cagrana is a temporarily established pontoon bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge serves as a tourist site in the city as it runs across the famous Danube River which makes it a sight to behold.

The interesting thing about this bridge is that only the floor of the bridge that is made of plastic which makes it a wonder to many. Since we generate a lot of disposable plastic materials that block drainage and waterways across Nigeria, maybe we can start looking at other things that we can build with them. Here are some photographs of the tour.
