The Executive Chairman of Ankpa Local Government Council, Hon. Abagwu Ibrahim, as part of effort to empower inmates in his council, has donated tow sewing machines to support the tailoring centre of Ankpa correctional inmates.

Speaking during the official handing over of the machines at the secretariat, on Wednesday in Ankpa, he said this kind gesture is part of his administration’s quest to support and consolidate on the efforts of the state government in reforming the inmates.

“My administration would  provide a legitimate means of livelihood for the inmates after their service term so that they would not become a threat or nuisance to the society after leaving the correctional facility,” he said.

In his remarks, the comptroller in charge of Ankpa Correctional Center, Umoru Onu, expressed gratitude to the council chairman for his support to  the inmates, adding that this uncommon gesture would provide the inmates the opportunity of having something meaningful doing after leaving the prison.
