The Federal Government has upgraded the Medium Security Custodial Centres in Kuje and Suleja to improve the living conditions and rehabilitation opportunities for inmates.
During a facility tour on Tuesday, the Acting Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Mr. Sylvester Nwakuche, credited the improvements to the renewed focus of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. He emphasized that these upgrades are aimed at providing inmates with better chances for rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society.
Key upgrades include the expansion and equipping of the clinic with modern medical equipment, such as a state-of-the-art scanner and physiotherapy equipment, as well as the construction of a new command and control unit for real-time monitoring of the facilities.
Nwakuche acknowledged the significant support of the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his dedication to improving the welfare of both the NCoS personnel and inmates. He noted that the Minister’s efforts had significantly transformed the facilities, providing a more conducive environment for rehabilitation.
“The Minister’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of both personnel and inmates is evident in the upgrades, which ensure quality medical care, addressing health needs, and promoting the overall well-being of the inmates,” Nwakuche said. “The clinic at the Kuje facility has been expanded and equipped with an ultramodern scanner, physiotherapy equipment, X-ray machine, and a fully-equipped medical laboratory.”
He also highlighted the agency’s strong stance against corruption, emphasizing that promotions within the NCoS would be based on merit to boost morale and promote excellence.
Nwakuche urged personnel to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and integrity, warning that any misconduct would lead to disciplinary action. He reassured the public that the NCoS is committed to ensuring inmates are detained safely and humanely while being provided with opportunities for rehabilitation and reform.
