FCT gets new controller of corrections
The new controller of corrections, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Usman Ibrahim, has assumed duty on Friday in Abuja.
Mr Ibrahim took over from John Francis, who was redeployed to Kaduna State Zonal Headquarters.
Mr Francis thanked the command officers for their support and urged them to extend the same gesture to Mr Ibrahim, whom he believed would take the command to greater heights.
On his part, Mr Ibrahim expressed confidence in a mutual working relationship towards achieving the mandate of the service in FCT.
Mr Ibrahim enlisted in the service in 1990 and served in 14 custodial centres.
Until his deployment as controller of corrections, FCT Command, Mr Ibrahim was the controller of corrections in charge of operations at the national headquarters.
