The minister said: “From what we have seen, it is a good work in progress. We will upgrade the system in line with the agenda of the renewed hope of Mr. President.”
He said the federal government would also create a world-class correctional system that is reformatory and transformational.
“The correctional centres would be a place where people learn, their lives will be transformed in the national interest and the rate of recidivism will be zero, and the national security architecture can be better enhanced,” he added.
