Abstract: Security challenges in Nigerian tertiary institutions have increasingly threatened the safety of students, staff, and physical assets. This study conducts a cost-benefit analysis of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) installation at Kwara State College of Education, Oro, with the aim of evaluating its feasibility as a strategic security measure and resource management tool. Using a descriptive and analytical approach, data were collected from institutional records, interviews, and security reports to estimate both the financial costs and the potential benefits of CCTV deployment. The analysis considered installation expenses, maintenance, and training against benefits such as crime deterrence, improved monitoring, reduction in theft and vandalism, and more efficient allocation of security personnel. Findings reveal that while initial costs are significant, the long-term benefits in terms of enhanced security, protection of institutional resources, and improved confidence among stakeholders outweigh the expenditures. The study concludes that CCTV installation represents a viable investment for the College and recommends phased implementation, adequate funding, and integration with complementary security measures to ensure sustainability and effectiveness.
