In a statement released by the Service, the inmates expressed that this accomplishment is life-changing, providing them with an opportunity to rebuild their lives and foster hope for a brighter future.
According to the Correctional Service, this success was made possible through the support of the Kano State Government, which sponsored educational programs for the inmates.

Officials highlighted that this initiative is part of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda, aimed at enhancing the lives of all Nigerians, including those serving prison sentences.
