The Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has commended the works done on two facilities of the Nigeria Correctional Centre after his visit to the maximum security Correctional Centre in Janguza, Kano State and that of Kuje.
The Minister expressed his commendation after the visits to the facilities accompanied by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Aishetu Gogo Ndayako and the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa.
The Minister in a statement posted on his X handle said: “I visited the 3000-capacity maximum security Correctional Centre in Janguza, Kano State, alongside the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Aishetu Gogo Ndayako, and the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa.
“I also visited Kuje Correctional Centre to assess the ongoing renovation, which is near completion. I am truly impressed to see our correctional centers fast becoming hubs of reform, where inmates are equipped to become productive members of society upon release.
“We aim to make our correctional centers transformative, reformative, truly correctional, and not condemnation centers while also prioritising the welfare of both inmates and personnel.
” The highlight of my visit to Kuje was receiving two books published by an inmate, a testament to the transformative impact of the result-driven #Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).
“On our part as a government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu we shall continue in our pursuit of excellence, upgrading our correctional facilities to meet international standards.
