Prison Inmate Undergoing PhD Programme — Official
The Controller of Prisons, Lagos State Command, Tunde Ladipo, says education in prison facilities is getting better by the day, with an inmate in the Maximum Prison undergoing a PhD programme.
Ladipo said in Lagos that things were looking up, especially with the commitment of officials and performance of inmates.
The controller spoke on the sideline of the 2017 Ikoyi Prisons Education Award held in Lagos.
He said that aside the inmate taking a PhD programme at the maximum prison, which is in Kirikiri, several others, both at the facility and the Ikoyi Prisons, were also undergoing Master’s degree programmes in various fields.
The controller said that despite being in incarceration, many prisoners had shown zeal to acquire education, even at the highest level.
