The Nigerian Correctional Service says it has reactivated the abandoned Borstal Training Institute Enugu, for the reformation of juvenile offenders in the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.
The Controller of Corrections and Principal of BTI, Mrs Elizabeth Ezenwanne, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Enugu.
Ezenwanne said the institute was meant for training of those within the ages of 16 and 21, who committed crime, were tried and convicted. She added that although the Enugu Custodial Centre was also affected by the war, it later bounced back, but the institute never did until NCoS Act, 2019 made it mandatory for every state in Nigeria to have separate male and female BTI.
“Some parents who heard about the school when I featured on a radio programme have been coming here to have their stubborn children admitted. But accepting them where there is no water to take care of their personal hygiene is unfair.
