The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Kano State Command, has announced that 58 inmates from various custodial facilities across the state are currently participating in the 2025 National Examination Council (NECO) Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
The NCoS explained that this initiative was supported by the Kano State Government in a move to reform and reintegrate inmates into society through what it called goiod education.
This was contained in a statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Musbahu Kofar-Nasarawa.
Kofar-Nasarawa also explained that the milestone was achieved following the payment of registration fees by the Kano State Government under the leadership of Governor Abba Yusuf.
The statement reads in part: “The gesture is a testament to the state government’s commitment to the welfare, rehabilitation, reformation, and reintegration of inmates in the command.
“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.”
