The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has accredited the Delta state correctional centre in Warri for its examinations.
The Deputy Controller of Corrections, DCC Edo Ineku confirmed the approval when he visited the Chairman of Warri South local government area, Michael Tidi on Tuesday.
Ineku 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.”
The council chairman congratulated the newly-deployed boss of the Warri Correctional Centre, assuring him of the Local Government’s support at all times in the speedy dispensation of their duties.
“I appreciate you and your team for the visit. Warri is known for peace and security; as a stakeholder in Warri South in terms of security, you are important to us.
“Here in Warri South, we believe in collaboration of all stakeholders in prevention of crime in Warri, we are proactive in terms of security of our people.
“I must not forget to commend your level of professionalism and how you operate your skill acquisition centre in reforming and refining the inmates,” Tidi remarked.
With the development, inmates will sit for the next Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) at the new centre.
