NCoS decorates 42 newly-promoted officers in Enugu
On Thursday, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) decorated the 42 newly promoted officers in the Enugu Maximum Custodial Centre, Enugu.
The newly decorated personnel included an assistant controller of corrections, other officers, and those within the rank and file.
The officer in charge of the custodial centre, Sunday Oyakhire, urged the affected officers to justify their promotion by re-dedicating themselves to excellent and diligent service.
Mr Oyakhire commended the interior minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the controller-general of corrections, Haliru Nababa and the controller of corrections in Enugu, Nicholas Obiako, for the promotion of such a large number of personnel in the centre.
“I advise those who missed the promotion to exercise a little patience and, by the grace of God, you too will be smiling with your new ranks very soon,” stated Mr Oyakhire.
He added, “For the newly-promoted and newly-decorated officers, it is a call to dedication and higher responsibility to the service and mankind. Congratulations, and I wish you people the best and more promotions and favours in the near future.”
The newly-decorated assistant controller of corrections, Ikechukwu Ezugwu, lauded the interior minister, the comptroller-general of corrections, the state controller of corrections and the officer in charge of the custodial centre for finding them worthy of promotion and decoration.
Mr Ezugwu, who spoke on behalf of other newly-promoted personnel, assured NCoS authorities that they would redouble their efforts to discharge their duties.
“We are fully aware of the higher responsibilities that go with this elevation, and we are assuring the NCoS authorities that we will justify this elevation by putting in more hard work and commitment to service,” he said.
