58 inmates sit for NECO exams in Kano

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Kano State Command, has announced that 58 inmates from its custodial facilities are currently participating in the 2025 National Examination Council (NECO) Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).

This was disclosed in a statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Musbahu Kofar-Nasarawa, on Sunday, July 6, in Kano.

According to him, this milestone was made possible through the payment of registration fees by the Kano State Government under the leadership of Governor Abba Yusuf.

“The gesture is a testament to the state government’s commitment to the welfare, rehabilitation, reformation, and reintegration of inmates,” Kofar-Nasarawa said.

The command expressed deep appreciation to the governor for his continued support, noting that the initiative would boost inmates’ morale and offer them a second chance at education and a brighter future.

“The NCoS Kano State Command remains committed to providing a conducive environment for the rehabilitation and reformation of inmates. We are proud to have the support of the Kano State Government in this endeavour,” the statement added.
