President Bola Tinubu’s approval for relocating 29 correctional centres is part of a broader effort to possibly reduce overcrowding in urban areas and improve security. The relocation might help spread out the population and reduce the strain on cities.
It could also indicate efforts to modernize or decentralize parts of Nigeria’s correctional system, which would be a significant step in terms of reform.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo’s announcement of operational vehicles for the Nigerian Correctional Service is also a key move toward improving operations and boosting the efficiency of correctional facilities.
