By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna 

In a significant milestone in health care reform in Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) Eleven (11) inmates suffering from hernia have undergone successful  surgery at the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kuje, FCT Command.

The surgeries, conducted by a dedicated team of in-house medical experts from the Service,  marked a huge breakthrough in the ongoing transformation of healthcare delivery in correctional facilities.

According to NCoS release on Friday by its spokesman, Umar Abubakar, the laudable achievement is a direct result of the visionary leadership of the Hon. Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, whose unwavering commitment to upgrading facilities and infrastructure across custodial centres is yielding tangible results.

Under his stewardship, the health and wellbeing of inmates have become central to the broader Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR — an agenda that recognizes the intrinsic worth of every Nigerian, including those behind bars” it added.

“This initiative has not been limited to Kuje alone. Across the country, custodial centres are experiencing unprecedented improvements in healthcare systems. Notably, the Maximum Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Janguza, Kano State, along with several other facilities nationwide, have seen substantial upgrades to their hospitals and medical units, ensuring inmates receive dignified and adequate medical attention.

“The Controller General of Corrections, Sylvester Nwakuche MFR, mni, along with the entire management team, express profound gratitude to the Honourable Minister for his proactive stance and humanitarian approach to correctional administration. 

“These developments is a testament of a transformative era where rehabilitation, humane treatment, and reintegration of inmates are prioritized as core mandates of the correctional system.

“The Nigerian Correctional Service remains steadfast in its commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare and promoting the welfare of all persons in custody, while contributing meaningfully to the vision of a more just, compassionate, and secure society”, it stated.
