At least 970 inmates are undergoing
various academic programmes in
custodial facilities across the
country.
This was disclosed by the Controller
General of Nigerian Correctional
Service (NCoS), Halliru Nababa in
Abuja on Friday.
He said the inmates were running the
programmes at the National Open
University of Nigeria (NOUN).
“This is aside from the large number
of inmates that sat for the West
African Examination Council (WAEC)
and National Examination Council
(NECO) with impressive results,” he
said.
Nababa said the era of seeing
custody as punitive and an end to
one’s career was over, adding that
the service emphasised the training
of inmates in preparation for their
reintegration into society as useful
and responsible citizens.
