The Controller of Prisons, Lagos Command, Mr Tunde Ladipo has disclosed that 157 inmates of the Kirikiri Maximum Prison have been enlisted to write the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) private candidate examination.

In addition, as education behind bars becomes encouraging, two inmates of the prison have also commenced doctorate degree programmes with the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).

According to Ladipo the progress and courage exhibited by the two PhD inmates at the maximum prison had sparked off a new zeal for academic pursuit among other inmates across the prison formations in the country.

“The command is committed to ensuring that no inmate is left behind in terms of education, as this is part of the reformation we are carrying out.

“Sometime around May or June, two of the inmates who have acquired their Master’s degrees enrolled for their PhD in the newly established National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) centre at the Kirikiri facility.

“One of the inmates is studying Business Management and the other, Peace and Conflict Resolution, and the Vice Chancellor of the NOUN who personally presented them with the letter approving their PhD courses said it is tuition free.

“To us, this is groundbreaking and very encouraging, as they have shown that they are not limited by the situation they find themselves. And that is part of the essence of our on-going reformation across the prisons.

“As a result of this, the command is also witnessing an increase of enrollment of inmates into various categories of learning at the various prisons schools.

“We are indeed happy with the establishment of the new NOUN centre at the Kirikiri Prison, with state-of-the-art facilities such as the ultra-modern and well-stocked library, computers and air conditioners,” Ladipo told newsmen

Giving a breakdown of the statistics of the inmates from the various facilities, he said that 91 of the inmates were from the Ikoyi Prisons, 12 from the Female Prisons, 14 from the Medium and 40 from the Maximum Prisons.

Ladipo said that preparations were in top gear for the examination at the various facilities, to ensure that the inmates come out in flying colours.

He commended the Federal government for its commitment in exposing the inmates to life-changing reforms that are ongoing currently in the prisons, through education and skills acquisition.

Ladipo noted that the government through the Controller General of Prisons, Ja’afaru Ahmed, recently donated books to facilities across the country for improved research, teaching and learning for the inmates, saying the gesture will complement the existing facilities and will go a long way in improving the performance of the inmates during the examination.

“Aside intervention from the Federal government in preparing the inmates for the examination, a bank also presented cash donation as well as some fans, in an effort to upgrade the facilities for conducive teaching and learning,” he said.

The state controller said that empowering the inmates with education would go a long way in restoring confidence in them, as well as make them less dependent persons, whenever they regained freedom.

Nogodye:
That's his prediction

Pure rubbish. Everybody knows it will be difficult for APC to retain power in Osun.

Votewisely2019:
This may influence Dogara to defect from APC to PDP !

He will be a fool to do that. One out of seven.

Tam David-West, former minister of petroleum resources and an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, says the president’s mistakes are haunting his government.

In an interview with The Guardian, he said Buhari made a mistake in the first four months of his administration with the people he surrounded himself with and are working against him.

David-West said that the economy is not doing well because the president made a mistake in appointment.

He added that Buhari should have appointed Udo Udoma, who is the minister of budget, as the minister of finance instead of Kemi Adeosun who currently holds the position.

The former minister, nevertheless, stated that the president suffered a lot to be elected and should re-contest in 2019 because of his high moral standard.

“You are elected to change and you can do the change. He made a mistake in the first four months. The mistake is what is haunting his government. The people, who he surrounded himself with, now cabals are not working in his interest. I told him before his wife went to the press, that the people are working against him,” he said.

“I have said it before that the economy is not doing well. People are suffering. I told him to alleviate the suffering. Give greater happiness to the greatest number. Let me be personal, if I were Buhari, the person I would have appointed the minister of finance is Udo Udoma, who is the minister of budget. That is not a good place for him.

“The economy is not doing well because of the mistake in appointment. I am not saying the minister of finance is not doing well. I do not know her. From what I have seen on television, she talks well, but talk is not enough.

“People are suffering. I am a diehard Buharist, but I cannot close my eyes and my conscience to admit there is not a lot of suffering. And something should be done about it.

“But, I want him to contest, because by our constitution, he has the right to contest and sentimental too. He suffered a lot to be elected. I have never joined any political party, but I support principles and persons. I do not see anybody in the political terrain that can contest against Buhari on moral turf. That is his greatest asset.”

But you do ask man to get it any where he can.

What is wrong in looking for helpmate, I am sorry for your type that think all financial responsibilities are for men. A 36 years old man, when is he going to be ready?

adedayoa2:
You got married to her for the wrong reasons, because she works and you'll not have to spend much, oga you never ready for marriage, change your mindset, accept her as your wife, start thinking in your heart that you're working for your family and tell her to cut her coat according to her material.

Pple deserve d kind of leader dey hv...Nigerians' votes will not count if they don't want them to count. They will count if they want them to.


Do u prefer sitting down and mopping over the situation then?

rentAcock:
All the clowns and celebrities chanting "get your PVC" are only deceiving themselves. Your votes do not count, this country is a joke, what is needed is a revolution like what happened in Libya, Egypt and Turkey.

Ordinary civil defence attached to a commissioner dey beat us here and no body cares

What about ordinary FRSC & LASMA?

Immanuelar:
Success indeed,
It seems dis politicians are yet to wake up. Same treatment workers gave to fayose will be given to aregbesola.
We will collect ur money and still won't vote for u!


You have failed us

They are wise now; you show your vote (ballot paper) before payment. Ask them in Ekiti, they will tell

Benita27:
Go and seat down my friend! How do you carry PVC around when you know your votes don't count in the election? This is one of the reason why I decided not to get one. The FG should sue him and he'll give them a thousand reasons why he had to.

Have you destroyed your own?

DEXTROVERT:
Maybe
They
Dont
Know
Fayose
Is
A
ROCK

Maybe he forgot that Fayemi is miner.

Frying gari, roasting corn, riding okada were not enough. The utmost thing is sincerity.

RevenGeMission:
He's shrunk even more , i think it has to do with Buhari but i may be wrong ... also i want to believe this man's spirit is being renewed everytime, he is supposed to be at home sleeping or inactive , so many soldiers don't get to live as long as he has

Many of his contemporary are still alive and very active, people like Gen. Gowon, Diya, Akinrinade, Buhari etc; just that he is the most troublesome among them.

johnmba:
I guess police arrested APC members in 2014.

Why are we like this in Nigeria. Always using power at the center to intimidate others.

Politics should be about the people but in Nigeria is about the elites

Fayemi is on vengeance mission; watch this

Felixalex:
So because of Fayose's shortcomings it is ok to be tear-gassed by the law enforcement agencies? (Assuming it's true)

Did u even read IgoDye's write-up to understand that he's saying if we do not all speak up against the evil being perpetrated by the government at all levels WE ALL will keep being victims of such callous occurrences. it was some unknown person's turn yesterday, it's Fayose's turn today, it might be your turn tomorrow...


While you keep supporting Buhari and APC, still reserve some.brain for basic reasoning.

Governor Fayose only impresses illiterates and fools. He's never in the news for laudable projects, he's either riding bikes, buying fish and ponmo or insulting someone. For how long are the people of Ekiti going to allow Fayose to keep disgracing them. For how long? - Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo

modelmike7:
Oga governor, you are still among those governors that have short-changed some of our youths’s destiny,


COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR, FAYOSE

Fayemi is on vengeance mission

centoke30:
my own issue is with those shouting about what happened in 2014. in 2014, the polity wasn't heated up like this, but currently it's been over heated by Buhari because of his insatiable taste to deal with Fayose for always challenging him. but the question here is, was challenging Buhari a bad idea? because for me, opposition leads to a healthy democracy. Buhari should just park one side and stop behaving like some one who drank cow milk instead of breast milk

I like Fayose for his boldness and criticism, but I hate what he did to opposition to become governor. It is very good he feel the trauma he caused others when he has backing from FG. It is a lesson for everybody; power is not permanent, use it wisely.

I think Fayemi is on vengeance mission using Fayose's style. Good luck to either of them.

"A married man in broad daylight leaved his village all the way to Amokwe to sleep with another man's wife."

What of if it were to be married woman that visited the married man in broad daylight, his people for drink palm wine.

Homeboiy:
Marry from Nsukka and u will have rest of mind

No where is free from this atrocity.

ijabiken1:
Ekiti state election is between fayose and buhari,I know that foyose will beat buhari hands down

Who is foyose? Is he a Major and General? What offence did buhari committed that we make General beat him? Is buhari a primary school student that will make foyose ask for his hands?

Fayose is an actor. He has acted several role in his poetry: Corn roaster, Danfo driver, Gari fryer, Okada rider, comedian etc. I think he acted this one well. Good Luck to him.

Hezbola:
Lol... Isn't he a sitting Gov.? What happened to immunity..?
