Enugu State is stepping boldly into a new era of security and technological advancement under the visionary leadership of *His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah*, the Executive Governor of Enugu State. In continuation of his administration’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives, properties, and investments, the Enugu State Security Trust Fund has recently procured a new batch of cutting-edge security assets, a move that further strengthens the state’s security architecture.
Among the new acquisitions are:
* Hi-Tech surveillance drones
* 10 Hilux patrol vans for rapid mobility
* 400 bulletproof vests
* 400 bulletproof helmets
These assets mark yet another milestone in the governor’s mission to make Enugu one of the safest and most investment-friendly states in Nigeria.
This latest deployment does not stand alone, it complements an expanding suite of security innovations already established by Governor Mbah, such as:
1. A State-of-the-Art Command and Control Centre
Enugu now boasts a modern Command and Control Centre equipped with advanced monitoring consoles, real-time communication systems, and data-driven operational tools. With the addition of AI-enabled drones and enhanced patrol logistics, the Centre will gain even greater visibility, precision, and responsiveness across all the state’s security corridors.
2. AI-Enabled Surveillance Cameras Across the State
The governor’s initiative to network AI-powered CCTV systems throughout Enugu is already disrupting criminal activities. These cameras provide facial recognition, motion analytics, license, plate identification, and behavior prediction—creating a digital shield over the state.
The newly procured hi-tech equipment will seamlessly integrate with this intelligent surveillance grid, ensuring faster detection and coordinated response to any threat.
3. Over 150 Distress Response Squad Vehicles
Equipped with AI-embedded cameras and smart navigation, these vehicles allow security personnel to respond swiftly to emergencies. With the addition of 10 new Hilux patrol vans, response teams gain even more reach across urban centers, suburbs, and rural communities.
Together, these initiatives send a clear message:

3. Support for sustainable development
Effective security provides the foundation upon which the governor’s broader development agenda, education, infrastructure, healthcare, and digital transformation can flourish without disruption.
Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s ongoing investments are transforming Enugu State into a security-smart, technology-driven, and resilient region. The integration of drones, bulletproof gear, patrol vehicles, AI surveillance systems, and centralized command infrastructure represents a holistic approach to modern security management.
With these advancements, Enugu is boldly asserting itself as one of the safest and most progressive states in Nigeria, ushering in a future where crime has no refuge, and the people and investors of Enugu can thrive in peace and confidence.
