The Controller of the Federal Correctional Service in Niger State, Alh. Muhammad Hamisu Isah, has made a direct appeal to Governor Mohammed Umar Bago, urging immediate attention to the critical issue of dysfunctional borehole pumps in correctional facilities. Isah emphasizes the urgent need for repairing three non-functional boreholes to prevent potential water shortages that could escalate into a health crisis within the correctional centers.<\/p>\n
Expressing profound concern over the apparent negligence of correctional facilities by the state government, Isah highlights the lack of support from previous administrations. The boreholes, in a state of disrepair for the past two years, pose a severe threat to the well-being of inmates. Isah calls upon individuals, corporate organizations, and the state government to promptly intervene and contribute to the repair efforts, emphasizing the importance of collective responsibility in addressing the inmates’ plight.<\/p>\n
Isah, in his statement, expresses disappointment over the lack of attention from the state government, saying, “Some of these inmates are indigenes of the state, and it is painful and disturbing that successive administrations of the state have not been of help to the suffering of the inmates. We have been neglected by the government. State governments owe a duty to support the correctional facility and the inmates in the custodial centers, but it\u2019s quite unfortunate that some state governments deliberately refuse to extend support to correctional facilities in their respective states.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
