A former governor of Taraba State, Rev. Jolly Nyame, on Tuesday joined his excited colleagues to celebrate stylish Christmas haircuts offered to 300 inmates of Kuje Prison in the Federal Capital Territory.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the free haircut was offered by the National Association of Barbers and Salon Employers of Nigeria during a Christmas visit to the prison.
The visit was undertaken in collaboration with Fades and Bangs Global, an Abuja-based international barbing outfit, and Maria Luna, the Deputy Ambassador of Venezuela.
A NAN correspondent, who covered the visit, reports that the inmates also received blankets, beverages, among other items.
Nyame, who did not require a haircut at the time, watched with excitement as his colleagues danced to the deafening music after the haircuts and carvings that saw some spotting hairstyles like “punk’’, “Afro’’, “Steve Wonder’’ and “curls.’’
The former Taraba governor, who is serving a 14-year jail term, lauded NABSEN for the kindness, describing it as “touching.’’
“They (prison inmates), are very happy; they are looking beautiful and radiant on Christmas day,’’ Nyame said.
