My people, wetin I go tell you na say, e be like say hope don show for Uyo as Nigerian Bar Association, wey sabi dey show concern for human right matter, don carry come some serious waka for Uyo Custodial Centre. Dem don donate solar-powered borehole for di place wey dey chook mouth for serious water wahala wey dey affect over 1,500 inmates. Ah wey dem no fit drink water no be small!
Di big gist now be say dis solar-powered borehole no be di only gift wey NBA-SPIDEL bring. Dem still gree provide free legal support for 115 inmates wey dey suffer from lack of legal representation. This matter na serious one o! Dis law people wey dey try help still gather dem don talk say dem go make sure say dem inmates fit get dem legal rights when dem need am.
Di Chairperson of NBA-SPIDEL, Associate Professor Uju Agomoh, come explain say dem visit di place for December 1, 2025. Na there dem hear as water matter dey choke di inmates and how dem dey buy diesel to run di water pump. How dem wan survive wey dem no even fit steady drink clean water? Na wetin dem go do for dem? Na permanent solution dem don carry come for once, wey na wetin we need for dis kain matter.
She talk say, ‘Whenever you want to solve a problem, you must make an effort to understand the root cause of that problem.’ Sharp woman, she sabi how to deal with di matter. Instead make dem dey carry diesel waka, dem don fix solar borehole wey go provide water long-term. Na so dem dey fight for true solutions, no be just patching things up.
Di Controller of Corrections for Akwa Ibom State Command, Theophilus Okoka, no fit hide him happiness as him thank di NBA for di move. Him yarn say water dey very essential for life, health, and to maintain human rights for di inmates. Di solar borehole go make big difference for di way dem dey live there. At least, dem go fit wash dem hand and drink water without wahala!
Before dis whole saga start, dem still show list of 115 inmates wey dey need legal help. Di Officer-in-Charge of Uyo Custodial Centre, Dr. Ezekiel Inyang, no gree hold back im appreciation for di association wey come save di day. Na wetin we dey talk for Naija be say, when we see beta people wey dey try for dem ogbonge people wey no fit get am, we go always hail dem.
So, make we begin sabi say help don come for Uyo, and dis kind gesture go help make life better for those wey dey inside. Di teachers of law don show say dem dey fight for dem rights and na real matter wey we go dey follow. Na only water, but dem sef dey assure say dem go fit stand by di inmates wey no get anybody to fight for dem legally. Na good news to lift spirits. We dey watch how dis whole thing go play out, as we sabi say Naija go always find way to carry beta for we matter!
