FIVE Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison inmates have graduated from Nigeria’s National Open University (Noun) receiving Bachelor of Science degrees while still serving their terms at the Lagos facility.

He said there had been an increase in the numbers of inmates enrolling in Noun degree programmes at the various study centres located in prisons nationwide.

 

Professor Adamu added: “There are over 526 inmates studying various courses at both under and postgraduate levels while in prison detention. I congratulate the graduating inmates and urge you to seek for higher qualifications.”
