The Nigerian Correctional Service has dismissed nine officers and compulsorily retired 25 others for various offences against standard practices. In the same vein, 4 others were issued with letters of plain warning.
A press release signed by the NCoS ACC Umar Abubakar noted that it is in line with the powers of the Controller General of Corrections as contained in the Nigerian Correctional Service Act, 2019.
He assured the public that the service will not relent in ridding its workforce of bad eggs and warns that there would no room for indolence and other acts against discipline in the service.
He further assured of the readiness of his administration to reward officers and men who are hardworking and committed to duty. He stated that the Reward Fund Unit is fully activated and very soon, staff with exceptional performance will be invited to Abuja to receive rewards for their show of gallantry and dedication to duty.
The CG thanked the general public for their cooperation and urged them to accept offenders that have served terms and shown enough penitence in order to break the circle of re-offending.
