The Comptroller of Enugu Prison Command, Mrs. Ukwuori Ndukwe Kalu has commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for his decision to celebrate his 53rd birthday with inmates of the Enugu Maximum Prison.
She said the governor’s choice of the Enugu Prison as venue for his birthday celebration was the first by any serving governor since the facility was established in 1937, noting that it was an indication of his humility and preparedness to serve both the rich and the society’s poor and downtrodden.
Thanking Governor Ugwuanyi for his support to the command, she said: “your prompt intervention during the Nsukka jailbreak incident in 2016, renovation and tiling of cells at Enugu Prison, granting of pardon to deserving inmates as well as the release of funds for the procurement of drugs to prison inmates and the installation of industrial fans in the cells at Enugu State prisons clearly demonstrate your humane leadership”.
Mrs. Kalu further explained that the state had been leading the crusade against having underaged children in prison and called on relevant authorities to stem the tide. Addressing the inmates, Governor Ugwuanyi said that he was at the prison to celebrate with them and see firsthand how his administration could help improve their welfare.
