Mr Yusuf, who made the donation through the Chairperson of the state Committee for Prerogative of Mercy, Azumi Namadi-Bebeji, said that the gesture would give the inmates a sense of belonging.
He enjoined the inmates to be of good conduct and remain resilient as they pass through reformatory programmes.

The state Controller of the Nigeria Correctional Service, Suleiman Inuwa, received the items on behalf of the Controller-General of Correction Services, Haliru Nababa.
Mr Inuwa commended the state government for the gesture.
Some of the food items included 150 bags of 25kg rice, vegetable oil, onions and seasoning among others.
