In his remarks, Controller, Kano Correctional Centre, Sulaiman Sulaiman, commended the governor for being humane by relating with inmates.  Sulaiman thanked the governor for giving inmates cattle and rams to celebrate the Eid-el Kabir.  
“I have worked for 30 years in many states. I have never seen a state governor who cares very much about the plight of inmates in our correctional centres as Gov Ganduje,” he said.
