The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has fulfilled his pledge to provide financial support to 97 inmates granted clemency on Democracy Day. Each beneficiary received ₦100,000 at the Kaduna Medium Security Custodial Centre on Friday to assist their transition back into society.
The cash distribution marks the final phase of the state’s June 12 clemency programme, which was designed to help the beneficiaries rebuild their lives through legitimate enterprise after regaining their freedom.

Kaduna Medium Security Custodial Centre Assistant Controller Dalhat Ibrahim commended Governor Sani for the intervention, stating that the initiative would strengthen institutional efforts to reform, rehabilitate, and reintegrate former inmates.
He noted that the administration’s decision to pay the outstanding court fines that secured the inmates’ release, combined with the subsequent financial aid, would incentivise the beneficiaries to become law-abiding citizens.
