He noted that initiative was in furtherance of the obligation and mandate of the service towards the reformation, rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates back to the society.

”As the saying knowledge is power, the essence of having a school within the prison yard is to reform the inmates with skills and provide them with formal education as well,” he said.

He also said that the examinations consist of different subjects, involving practicals and the theoretical aspects.

He thanked  individuals, non-governmental organisations, religious bodies and government agencies that provided the funds used to register the inmates for the examinations.

NAN reports that the examination which began in November would end in December.
