The beneficiaries, made up of seven males and three females, were admitted into courses including English Language/Social Studies, Economics/Social Studies, Political Science/Social Studies, Business Education, Physical and Health Education, Economics/Political Science, and Economics/Computer Science.
Speaking at a matriculation ceremony held within the correctional facility on Friday, the Provost of the College, Dr. Mary Bamgbose, formally welcomed the inmates into the 2025/2026 academic session and urged them to maintain good conduct.
She described the inmates as reformed and expressed confidence that they could become positive representatives of the institution after regaining their freedom.
“Today, 10 inmates who have been corrected and reformed are being matriculated into Yewa Central College of Education. As you begin this journey on February 6, 2026, I urge you to conduct yourselves properly,” Bamgbose said.
“As God is showing you mercy through this opportunity, I believe you can one day serve as good ambassadors of our college outside this system,” she added.
Speaking on behalf of the new students, Peter Adike expressed gratitude and pledged that, despite their incarceration, they are determined to make the opportunity count.
However, he noted that they still face challenges accessing essential learning resources such as teachers, textbooks, and classroom furniture.

An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Senator Abubakar Yusuf, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure victory in the 2027 presidential election, despite what he described as the current government’s underwhelming performance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the former federal lawmaker argued that Tinubu’s re-election is likely because the opposition lacks unity and cannot mount a strong challenge.
He said he does not expect opposition politicians to come together in a way that could threaten the president’s chances.
According to him, “APC will win in 2027, not because President Tinubu has done well, but because there is no opposition. There is no challenge in the opposition. Individually, they are very credible, but as a team, I don’t see them working together. Tinubu will more likely win in the 2027 election.”
Yusuf added that the ruling party is not worried about the opposition due to its fragmented nature.
However, he cautioned President Tinubu against relying heavily on APC governors for electoral support, warning that many of them may not have strong grassroots popularity.
He also warned that internal disagreements within the party, especially over candidate selection, could trigger serious conflicts and weaken the APC if not properly handled.
“APC is not jittery because we don’t have a challenge. What we should worry about is an intra-party crisis. There may be implosions if care is not taken. If they insist on an automatic ticket, they will lose many members to other parties. There will be implosions if they refuse to allow free and fair elections,” he said.
Yusuf further advised the president not to overestimate the influence of some governors, adding that several of them are not widely popular among voters.

According to a weather update shared on Sunday via its official X handle, NiMet said the day is expected to begin with hot and sunny conditions in many areas before changing later.
In the North, morning heat is expected to give way to isolated thunderstorms later in the day, with places like Taraba likely to experience brief storms and gusty winds.
For the North-Central region, the agency predicted a warm and calm start, followed by possible thunderstorms and rainfall in some states, while others may experience strong winds. Affected areas may include Niger, Kwara, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, and the Federal Capital Territory.
In the South, more intense storm activity is expected as the day progresses, with states such as Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, Anambra, Rivers, and Delta likely to see rain, lightning, and possible disruption to outdoor activities.
NiMet advised residents to take precautions, including securing loose items that could be affected by strong winds and avoiding unnecessary travel during heavy rain due to reduced visibility and slippery roads.
It also warned against staying in flood-prone areas during rainfall and urged people to seek safe shelter during lightning activity.
Airlines were also advised to obtain regular weather updates from NiMet offices to ensure safe flight operations.
