Prof. Abdalla Adamu, the Vice-Chancellor of the National Open University in Nigeria (NOUN) has said the institution has admitted a total of 615 prisoners.
Adamu made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
He said that all the inmates were studying free as NOUN was responsible for payment of their fees up to PhD level.
The professor of science education said that it had been his joy to encourage prisoners to acquire education and be useful on re-integration into the society.
Adamu added that he was happy seeing people who were incarcerated and had no hope, with some of them on death row and life sentence, studying.
The vice-chancellor told NAN that the inmates had a preference for studying Peace and Conflict Resolution as their major courses.
