Kuje Custodial Centre Gets New Heads

Sequel to the nationwide periodic redeployment of command officers by the Controller-General of Nigeria Correctional Service, Haliru Nababa, the Controller of Corrections, Mohammed Isah, and the deputy Controller of Corrections, Kolawole Sunday, have taken over the helm of affairs of the Federal Capital Territory Command and the Kuje Custodial Centre respectively.

The redeployment is meant to maximise the potentials of the command officers.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Federal Capital Territory Command’s Assistant Public Relations Officer, Usman Sani, on Saturday.

According to the statement, the outgoing Controller, Ahmed Musa, enjoined officers and men not to relent in the discharge of their duties but continue to give the newly posted Controller all the necessary support needed to work even more than they had given to him.

Isah, while addressing officers and men, informed them that the change in baton of leadership showed the high level of discipline in the command, which he said should not only be maintained but be improved upon.

He further added that he would continue operating an open-door policy with staff and the public in order to ensure that the job of corrections was carried out to the latter.

Ahmed was redeployed to head the Nominal Roll Unit at the National Headquarters of the Service, while Deputy Controller Ibrahim Shehu who was the incharge of Kuje Custodial Centre has been redeployed to the FCT Command headquarters office.

The incoming Controller, Mohammed Isah, until this posting, was the pioneer commandant of the Correctional Training College in Kebbi State while the new officer in charge of Kuje Custodial Centre, deputy Controller of Corrections, Kolawole Sunday, was deployed from the zonal headquarters in Ibadan, Oyo State.
