The Nigerian Correctional Officers Wives Association (NICOWA) in Akwa Ibom has donated foodstuffs and other essential items to inmates at the Medium Security Custodial Center in Uyo. The donation is part of the association’s efforts to support the welfare of those incarcerated.
During the presentation, NICOWA Chairperson Mrs. Angela Ezugwu, represented by Mrs. Idorenyin Archibong, emphasized that the gesture was aimed at improving the living conditions of the inmates.
