The face of the renovated centre
Staff of the Special Study Centre for聽the聽Nigerian Correctional Centre,聽水果派 of Nigeria (NOUN),聽Sauka, 聽Abuja, have expressed delight over the renovation of聽centre鈥檚 infrastructure聽by the management of the university.
The聽director of the聽centre,聽Rtd.聽Controller of聽 Correctional,聽Francis Enobore,聽Mni,聽and the聽staff praised the聽intervention of the Vice-Chancellor,聽Prof.聽Olufemi Peters,聽in addressing some age-long infrastructural deficits and challenges at the聽centre.
Enobore聽said for several years, access to the聽centre聽had been a challenging and frustrating experience for both staff and students due to broken ramps, which made it extremely difficult to drive to the office complex.
This, according to him, used聽force聽staff and students to park far from the premises and walk long distance under harsh environmental condition聽to the centre.
In addition,聽the director added,聽the office environment itself was in a state of disrepair, with many doors and windows broken, leaving office equipment vulnerable to rains,聽wind-storms, and other environmental hazards.
As a result of the dilapidation,聽it was easy for wild reptiles and other creatures to creep into the office spaces, creating an unpleasant atmosphere for effective working condition, Enobore said.
However, the聽repairs聽have now eased things up as聽vehicular access to the office complex聽has since picked up.
Even damaged doors and windows have been replaced, ensuring the safety and security of office equipment, with internal seepage issues addressed,聽he said.
The director said聽the office walls聽have been聽restored with fresh screeding and paint, creating a more welcoming and a pleasing environment.
To this end,聽the聽staff are motivated and equipped to improve service delivery, focusing on the core mandate of the university which is anchored聽 on providing excellent and affordable education to students, allowing them to learn at their own pace, Enobore said.
