Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has renovated the administrative block of Umuahia Correctional Centre in Abia State.
The renovation, which included re-roofing and ceiling of the facility was a direct response to a plea by the former State Controller, Mrs Josephine Ogbeifun during a courtesy call on Kalu in May, 2025.
The Deputy Speaker’s intervention which is remarkably a display of his commitment to public service has not only improved the condition of the facility but also provided a safer and more conducive environment for officials and inmates who were hitherto exposed to harsh weather conditions.
