The Kano State Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service has announced that 58 inmates from its custodial centres are currently participating in the 2025 National Examination Council (NECO) Senior School Certificate Examination.
Musbahu Kofar-Nasarawa, the command’s public relations officer, made this announcement in Kano on Sunday.
He said that the milestone was reached after the Kano State Government, led by Governor Abba Yusuf, paid the registration fees.
“The gesture is a testament to the state government’s commitment to the welfare, rehabilitation, reformation, and reintegration of inmates in the command,” Kofar-Nasarawa said.
The command expressed deep appreciation to the Governor for his consistent support and collaboration, noting that the gesture would uplift the morale of the inmates and offer them a renewed opportunity for education and a better future.
“The NCoS Kano State Command remains committed to providing a conducive environment for the rehabilitation and reformation of inmates.
“We are proud to have the support of the Kano State Government in this endeavour,” the statement added.
