The Civil Defence Corrections Fire and Immigration Services Board has promoted 17,636 officers and men of Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) across the board in 2022.

Prisons spokesman Abubakar Umar disclosed this on Thursday in a statement.

Mr Umar said the promotion would motivate officers and men of NCoS for efficient service delivery.

He said officers from the rank of assistant superintendent of corrections to the assistant controller of corrections benefited from the promotion and that the prisons controller general, Haliru Nababa, approved the promotion of 7,505 junior officers.

According to him, Mr Nababa charged the beneficiaries to see their elevation as an opportunity to do their best to discharge their duties.

The controller general admonished the beneficiaries to note that promotion comes with additional responsibilities, urging them to brace up.

He also called on personnel not promoted not to feel bad as more opportunities abound in the future.

The NCoS boss reiterated that the service would not relent in its commitment towards improving staff welfare and promoting the reformation and rehabilitation of inmates in custodial centres.
