In a move to boost inmate education and rehabilitation, the Delta State Government, in partnership with Tantita Security Services Limited, has inaugurated an eight-classroom block at the Medium Security Correction Centre, Okere Road, Warri.
The facility, built by Tantita Security Services, was officially commissioned on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, with the state Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof Nyerhovwo Tonukari, representing Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at the ceremony.
Tonukari said the project reflects the state government’s commitment to using education as a tool for the transformation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of inmates into society. He commended Tantita Security Services for its corporate social responsibility, describing the partnership as a model for government–private sector collaboration.
“This initiative shows how education can serve as a bridge between incarceration and reintegration. By equipping inmates with knowledge and skills, we are not just giving them a second chance but also contributing to the growth and security of our state,” Tonukari stated.
The commissioner added that Governor Oborevwori’s administration prioritises policies and partnerships that empower people through learning, adding that the classrooms will provide a conducive environment for inmates to pursue knowledge and vocational training.
