Speaking to news men, the Director
General of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Dr Seidu
O. Mohammed said recently that there will be training sessions for the security
agencies in the next few weeks. Said he, “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.
He said the training is for military
and paramilitary, and that they will be trained on how to use NASRDA data,
because, according to him, “every satellite launch has its own parameters and
you need to understand them, before you operate them.”
