WAEC Accredits Prison As Exams Centre

The Warri Correctional Centre on Okere Road in the Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, popularly known as Okere Prison, has been approved by the West African Examination Council for inmates to sit the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination.

The Deputy Controller of Corrections, DCC Edo Ineku, disclosed this when he led a team from the Correctional Centre on a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Michael Tidi, at the Council Secretariat.

He noted that the courtesy visit to the Local Government Council was part of his familiarisation moves since his arrival in April 2022.

He said, “It is clear that the synergy among stakeholders in criminal justice system is key. The Federal Government cannot do this alone, hence we need your assistance.”
