Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has said that since the name of Nigerian Prison Service was changed to Nigerian Correctional Service there have been more jailbreaks in the country.
Akpabio spoke on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday while commenting on two pieces of legislation billed for concurrence.
The bills for concurrence were one to repeal and enact the law establishing Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, and another to repeal the Fire Service Act and enact Federal Fire and Rescue Service.
Abba Moro, Senate Minority Leader argued that there was no need to change the name because the “rescue component” is already part of the responsibility of the Fire Service.
“I do not think that there is a need for that”, Moro said.
In his response, the Senate President said there is a need to examine such laws.
“This is something to be looked at. When you’re convicted, you are supposed to learn a skill”, Akpabio said.
