The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, on Monday, warned the correctional officers of the Nigeria Correctional Service to ensure that the inmates are comfortable, clean, hygienic and of good health.

Mr Aregbesola gave the warning in Abuja when the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Georgina Ehuriah, officially handed over to him.

According to him, although the correctional service is not intended to be a “five-star hotel”, it should, nevertheless, be made comfortable for inmates.

“No one is advocating that it must be Transcorp Hilton but it must be comfortable, clean, hygienic and promote good health.

“Inmates should be well fed and taken care of, their dignity should be protected and should not be abused,” he said.

He added that an abused and brutalized inmate was a potential threat to the society which should not be allowed to happen.

The minister explained that the correctional facilities were intended to reform inmates for proper reintegration into society.

”An inmate must leave the correction centre, a better person, an abused and brutalized inmate is a threat to the society and a bad social missile that should not be allowed to happen. So henceforth, this should stop,” he said.

Also, he expressed commitment to delivering on the three core mandates of the current administration for the ministry.

While identifying these as security, economy, and transparency, he urged all agencies under the ministry and staff to key into the mandate.

I don't know why I don't pity prison inmates. Some of them committed offences that will shock devil himself.

Imagine me sympathising with that animal that mercilessly beat his 6 yr old daughter to death because of N350 for God's sake.

One thing I love about this man is that, he was never accused of corruption even by his enemies so I am well confident that he will deliver and restructure the prison system and other agencies under his ministry.

Tinubus products are of high quality. Very pro-active and brilliant.


In a modern society, the purpose of prison is to change the inmates to a better person and also integrate them into the society after the completion of the jail term but unfortunately, the purpose is being defeated with much corruption in the system.
