Controller-General of Prisons, Dr.
Peter Ekpendu
Thirty-one inmates of the Kuje
Prison, Abuja, who sat for the 2014 NOV/DEC Senior Secondary School Examination
have been presented their certificates at the facility by a representative of
the Controller-General of Prisons, DCP Musa Tanko.
The inmates were sponsored by a
non-governmental organisation, NUGA BEST, which paid for their enrollment for
the examinations.
Tanko reiterated the commitment of
the Nigerian Prisons Service to humane confinement, reformation and
rehabilitation of inmates.
He stated that assisting inmates to
have access to educational opportunities at all levels was one notable way of
keeping alive their hope of a successful return to the larger society.
He observed that Kuje Prison had
continued to record impressive inmates’ participation in external examinations
since the programme started in 2010, adding that close to 41 inmates have
enrolled for various degree programmes in the National Open University of
Nigeria Special Study Centre in the prison.
It was learnt that 38 inmates sat
for the examination, and 31 results were released, while seven were withheld.
Cumulatively, the candidates had 67 distinctions, 94 credits, 73 passes and 41
fails.
