Civil servants in Osun had under the previous administration of former governor Rauf Aregbesola faced difficulties in getting some of their arrears paid.
The federal government has declared December 26 and 27, 2022 as public holidays to mark Christmas and Boxing Day.
The control room would help guard against abuses of inmates rights and ensure adequate security surveillance of the prisons.
Mr Aregbesola said Nigerians living in Canada now have access to the coveted 64-page 10-year validity passport.
The minister of interior, however, said that details of the investigation would not be made public, “as it is still a security document”.
The envoy said shortage of passport booklets was no longer a problem and applicants would be able to get their passports by December to travel home for Christmas.
The Nigerian Correctional Service has dismissed nine officers and retired 25 others compulsorily for misconduct.
The regime said it now conducts periodic simulation exercises of attacks and responses in the most risky facilities.
The regime said corruption in the issuance of passports persists because Nigerians patronise touts and corrupt officials.
The minister said that as long as the escapees functioned as human beings, they would be recaptured.
