The Nigerian Correctional Service has received a security sector grant of N500 million.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Assistant Superintendent of Corrections, Franca Awa, on Friday.
The grant was presented by the Abdulsamad Rabiu initiative for Africa, an initiative of the Chairman of Bua group of Companies, Abdulsalam Rabiu, as part of her social development programme.
While presenting the cheque to the Controller General of Corrections, Haliru Nababa, at the National Headquarters Abuja, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Initiative, Dr Ubong Udo, said the organisation is set up as a vehicle to drive the Chairman’s mission for Nigerian and Africa and to create a platform where Nigerians and Africans can take responsibility to solve their own developmental problems by looking inwards.
