The Wife of the Governor of Abia State, Priscilla Otti, has urged the inmates of the Nigerian Correctional Facility, Arochukwu, in Arochukwu Local Government Area of the state, to embrace positive transformation and avoid actions that could lead them to crime again.

Otti, who gave the advice during a courtesy visit to the facility reassured the inmates that the state government prioritises their welfare and worth in the society.

It will be recalled that she has, in recent years, placed increasing emphasis on social welfare and inclusive governance, particularly for populations traditionally excluded from mainstream development planning.

Mental health facilities, leprosy settlements, motherless babies homes and correctional centres are in the centre of her social welfare outreaches.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Press officer to the governor’s wife, Ndubueze Justice, on Tuesday.

Otti, represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Women Affairs, Chinenye Nwaka, emphasised that correctional facilities exist not as places of rejection, but as centres for reformation and preparation for a more productive life after custody.

She said, “We are confident that the inmates would emerge from the correctional centre renewed, responsible, and better equipped to contribute meaningfully to society.

“Our visit is to assure them that they are not abandoned or forgotten as citizens of this state.”

In her remarks, the Controller of the Abia State Correctional Facility, Nwanyanwu Blessing, commended the First Lady for her sustained compassion and unwavering support for inmates across the state.

She described the Wife of the Governor as a reliable partner of the correctional system, noting that her interventions extend beyond the Arochukwu facility to other centres in Abia.

“These interventions have included skill acquisition programmes, provision of food items, cash assistance, and reading materials, all targeted at rehabilitation and successful reintegration.

“We express gratitude for the cash and food supplies donated during the visit. This gesture would greatly enhance the feeding and overall welfare of our inmates.”

Otti’s social welfare outreaches align with broader national and global commitments, including Nigeria’s social protection framework and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those addressing good health and wellbeing, reduced inequalities and peace, justice and strong institutions.

Before now, I used to be skeptical when people criticize your comments but this here has really proved that there is nothing meaningful in your contributions. Some of you here are intentionally supporting evil and think its fun or politics.
May your life never be like the former Abia state.

MEGAWATCH:
See this HYPOCRITE!

They have been offering you good jobs here but you tightly hold on to this bootlicking job as if you will be buried with it.
