The donation
was made on Thursday, December 28, 2017. Presenting the transformer to the
service, the governor said the gesture was to give the inmates and the NPS a
sense of belonging in the state.
Ugwuanyi,
who was represented by the Chairman, Enugu State Rural Electricity Board, Mr. Simeon Atigwe, expressed dismay
that the prison had been in darkness for the past three months. “I was highly dismayed and disappointed when I got the
information that the maximum prison in the state did not have electricity in
the past three months, hence the donation of the transformer,’’ he said.
The
governor vowed to continue to assist the service as much as he could and urged well-meaning
Nigerians to assist prison inmates as government alone could not do it.
In his
response, the visibly excited Controller of Prison in the state, Mr. Boniface Ndubuisi, thanked the
governor for responding to its call promptly. He said that the governor’s
gesture would go a long way in improving the lives of inmates as well as
enhancing service delivery in the service.
He
also used the opportunity to thank those who remembered the inmates during the
yuletide and encouraged others to emulate them. Officials of the electricity
board immediately commenced installation of the transformer.
