One of the graduating inmates, Nweke Chibueze, in his vote of thanks, thanked the Controller General, Haliru Nababa, and the Vice-Chancellor of NOUN for the opportunity. He, however, pleaded for clemency for the graduating students so they can be freed to give their quota to the country’s development.
The state Controller of Correctional Service, Adewale Francis Adebisi, while speaking during the presentation of the Bachelor of Science certificate to eight graduands from the Lagos Command, urged them to imbibe the virtues of education.
According to him, they should use the “opportunity available while in detention to better their lives so that when they are released, they can contribute positively to the society”.
