FG Moves To Upgrade Prison Conditions
The Federal Government has announced plans to distribute 50,000 mattresses to correctional centres across Nigeria.
The move was revealed on Tuesday as part of efforts to improve conditions for inmates nationwide.
The mattresses will be supplied to facilities run by the Nigeria Correctional Service in different states.
Authorities say the intervention is designed to address overcrowding and poor sleeping conditions reported in several centres.
Officials explained that the initiative forms part of broader reforms within the correctional system.
The focus, they said, is to promote humane treatment and strengthen rehabilitation programmes for those in custody.
The distribution is expected to begin soon, with the government assuring that the items will be delivered to facilities most in need first.
