The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced a notable decrease in the number of ex-convicts returning to prison, with figures dropping from 11,616 in 2023 to 1,382 in 2025. This decline is attributed to the implementation of ongoing prison reforms aimed at reducing recidivism rates. The government highlighted these reforms as a key factor in promoting rehabilitation and reintegration of former inmates into society. The positive trend indicates progress in the criminal justice system's efforts to address repeat offenses.
