Atiku said:
“The security architecture I admire is the UAE security architecture and it’s primarily based on monitoring.
You don’t see policemen in uniform in UAE, you don’t see soldiers but virtually everybody is being monitored on a daily basis and particularly if you are a visitor, from the moment you step into the country or go out, anywhere you are going you are being watched and that is the deployment of technology as far as security is concerned."
Atiku revealed that the mandate and obligation of his administration will place priority on the safety of lives and properties of citizens and a safe environment for business.
He further stated that the incumbent government must also take a cue from this initiative to combat terrorism and other forms of insecurity across the federation.
