Items such as toiletries, mattresses, blankets, sewing machines, solar lights, bathing soaps, detergents and bathroom slippers were donated to the inmates.

The Secretary to the State government reiterated that the donation is meant to strengthen the upkeep of inmates at the various Correctional Centres in the State.

Receiving the items at the Command’s headquarters, the Controller of Correctional Services, Kwara Command, Oyin Adeyinka Adebayo, who represented the Controller General, Haliru Nababa, appreciated the government for the gesture which he said, would go a long way to enhance the welfare of inmates.

Describing parental care as critical factor in curbing crime, the Controller noted that all hands must be on deck to ensure proper care of the inmates.
