The Kano State Command of the Correctional Service highlighted that this initiative aligns with the provisions of the Correctional Service Act, 2019, which emphasises the rehabilitation and reformation of inmates through education and vocational training.
The spokesman said the success also reflects the directive of the Controller General of Corrections, CGC Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, who urged all heads of custodial centres nationwide to enrol inmates in both academic and vocational programs.
The goal, according to him, is to equip them with the necessary skills to reintegrate into society as responsible and productive citizens.
