Federal Government will soon deploy satellites to trace movement of suspected terrorists and their locations in the country. The Director General of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Dr Seidu O. Mohammed said yesterday said there will be training sessions for the security agencies in the next few weeks.
“We will also use communications satellites and global positioning systems to monitor every neighbourhood. We believe that is possible here and we are making effort to do that,” he said. “The training is for military and para-military, wewill bring them here and train them on how to use our data, because every satellite launch has its own parameters and you need to understandthem, before you operate them.” Nigeria Sat 2 and Sat X are high resolution satellites with the ability to give very close images.

i hope this is true and not some cheap talks

Very nice indeed!
Next, we need to learn how to direct missiles on target with them satellites up there.

First was cctv cameras, next was dog,now satellites. . .i laff

...

This is laudable oh wait I meant laughable

Something is wrong with our federal government.Why must every delicate policy be announced to the whole world ? I'm sick and tired of all these ''FG to '' crap,we need actions ! Mschew

Supported..

Na today?
What a confused govt, just track down BH, nobody cares how you do it. Mtcheeeew

Talk is cheap.Let d clueless FG and his cabinet talk less $ do more.

Some people just sign in Nairaland every day just to criticize, instead of doing so constructively and offering advises where needed. what a waste of bandwidth and energy

Abi o. . .they only perform on paper but output is 0%.Always trying to score political points on every issues.they did sim registration,national id card,Driver's license and number plate;promising that they will help combat terrorism but what is the outcome today ? Boko haram make calls but same Fg cant track the calls.Nonsense

LeoMax: Some people just sign in Nairaland every day just to criticize, instead of doing so constructively and offering advises where needed. what a waste of bandwidth and energy

That is Nairanlander for you.

I trust you Goodluck, I know the northern leaders and their people over there will not want you rule successful, that's why they fold their arm, only one Goodluck from God against all mighty Devil Notherners leader numbering 15, they rule theirs term with peace and they want to ruin your government all because you are christian and from the eastern part and they believe you will handle the power to igbo, even if it remain one single soul in nigeria. Do not step down..aboki must perish, the norther leaders sponsoring boko haram with their arabs supporters and their fellow nother cities protecting them shall all perish, except Jesus and God is sleeping..

Then why negotiate with BH since the FG claims to have the facilities to track them down. Its so funny how Nigerian leaders ridicule this nation.

Where is Musiwa....

Wick FG.

*Yimu* lip service as usual...wit abu qaqa, kabiru sokoto,suleiman and cctv FG still cant track them. God is watching

Many of these government officials are not very smart- you are fighting a war and you are telling your opponents your operational plans. Is it just me or is this stupidity?

princey83: Where is Musiwa....

He is MIA because his navigation is restricted to edo,delta,bayelsa,yorubaland and benin republic.

I'm confused. Fg already know sponsor of boko haram. Who are they tracking? Corpers?

if u want to shoot shoot dont talk!! We ned progress so talkless n get into action..

And this will take them like how many years to acomplished...before we are all killed.
infact it wont work

Get the sponsors of this boko haram guys from confessions of several members arrested. Shun tribalism and politics mr president, these are human lives here. U will succeed except ur hands are not clean.

They'll use it to chop billions. Six months after take-off they'll start complaining about funding and lack of equipments and poor maintenance.. One year after it's dead and buried and until some1 comes up with another "good" idea to embezzle his. And the cycle of corruption and incompetence continues.

I thot that is one of the reasons we have NIGCOMSAT in the space... Satelite has being proved to be very useful in combating crime and terrorism all over the world.. By the way must these security people tell us everytin abt how they wana counter terrorism?... If they have lead to imam shekau's hide out.. Either by satelite or cctv they should use it and let the animal of d street

Shut up your mouth toddler. Did American government inform Pakistani government before they surreptitiously entered their country and killed Osama ? Does CIA issue drone alert before attacking militants in Afghanistan ? Mschew only in Nigeria folks think with their an-us.nonsense

If United States used satellite to track Osama for 10 years, it would take Nigeria 100 yrs to use satellite to track Boko, plus 10 years to be wasted in looking for best way to dupe the fund.
