The Federal Government has announced Saturday to build six new prisons across the country.
The six geopolitical zones will get one each, the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, said in while inspecting the ongoing Model Maximum Security Custodial facility project, Janguza, in Kano.
The project was part of programmes initiated by President Muhammadu Buhari to reform the correctional service, the minister said.
“What we have here is a model of what we expect to have nationwide and here is a 3,000 custodial facility, and we plan to have it in each of the six geo-political zones.
