Nigerian Lawmakers Launch Probe Into $460 Million Failed CCTV Project

Nigeria's House of Representatives has initiated an investigation into a $460 million CCTV contract for the capital, Abuja. The project, which began over a decade ago, has failed to become operational. A special House committee will conduct a forensic audit of the security initiative. The probe will assess the project's current status and determine if any of the installed systems are functional. Lawmakers also plan to examine how the project was integrated into national security operations. The investigation aims to provide answers for the significant public funds spent. This inquiry occurs as Nigeria continues to face widespread security challenges across the country. The government seeks to improve safety and accountability for major infrastructure projects.
