The Corrections boss assures of his irrevocable commitment to the safety and comprehensive reformation of the offenders in his care.

This is the forth matriculation at the Custodial Center, under the auspices of NOUN. The combined ceremony was witnessed by the Director of Mass Literary, Alhaji Mikail Lawal who represented the Hon.
