The Warri Correctional Centre in Delta state has been approved by the West African Examination Council for inmates to sit for the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination.
Okere Prison as it’s fondly called will serve as one of the WASSCE centers for inmates in the country.
The Deputy Controller of Corrections, DCC Edo Ineku, disclosed this when he led a team from the Correctional Centre on a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Michael Tidi, at the Council Secretariat.
He noted that the courtesy visit to the Local Government Council was part of his familiarization moves since his arrival in April 2022.
He said, “It is clear that the synergy among stakeholders in criminal justice system is key. The Federal Government cannot do this alone, hence we need your assistance.”
