The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) has approved the promotion of 30 senior officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to the rank of Assistant Controller General of Corrections.
The announcement was made in a statement issued on Tuesday by NCoS spokesperson Umar Abubakar.
“The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has approved the promotion of 30 Controllers of Corrections to the prestigious rank of Assistant Controller General of Corrections,” the statement read.
Abubakar explained that the promotions reflect the board’s commitment to “merit-based advancement, professional excellence, and the continuous strengthening of leadership within the Nigerian Correctional Service.”
The newly elevated officers include 27 general duty personnel and three specialists in Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing, and Public Health, recognized for their “outstanding service and specialised contributions.”

Controller General of Corrections Sylvester Nwakuche congratulated the promoted officers while urging them to uphold the highest standards in their new roles.
“I urge them to redouble their effort to service delivery, strategic leadership, and the core mandates of reformation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of inmates,” Nwakuche stated. He emphasized that the promotions represent “a call to higher responsibility in line with global best practices in correctional management,” rather than merely a reward for past service.
The elevation of these senior officers comes as part of broader efforts to enhance professionalism and operational efficiency within the nation’s correctional system.
