After the sensitization program, staff appreciates their thoughtfulness and timely support, though there was hand wash section before any staff gain access to the yard, some staff says that they are better equipped to exercise preventive measures.

The sensitization program was held within the institution premise.

Earlier in the month, the institution record success as seventeen (17) of the nineteen (19) students that registered and sat for JAMB on Saturday March 14th, 2020 scored above the 180mark set as cut-off by JAMB, while twelve (12) students score above 200mark.

She believes that today sensitization program will douse tension and address the skeptic minds of parents, relatives and members of the public that doubt the ability of the Nigerian Correctional Service to prevent the spread of virus into custodial centers.
