 FG REPORTS SHARP DROP IN REPEAT OFFENDERS IN CORRECTIONAL CENTRES


The Federal Government says the number of repeat offenders in correctional centres has dropped significantly over the past two years.


Speaking during the presentation of an investigative report on the Nigerian Correctional Service, the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, says the number of repeat offenders declined from 11,616 in 2023 to 1,382 in 2025.


The Minister attributes the reduction to ongoing rehabilitation and reformation programmes, noting that the figures show positive progress in efforts to reform inmates.


Tunji-Ojo says government will continue to strengthen correctional reforms, stressing that success will only be achieved when recidivism is reduced to zero.


He adds that an implementation framework and monitoring mechanism will be put in place to ensure recommendations of the investigative report are fully executed.
