A
major redeployment of senior officers of the Nigerian Prisons Service
nationwide has been approved by the Controller-General of Prisons,
Ja'afaru Ahmed.
The
posting instruction letter issued on Monday 11th July, 2016 has the
Directorate of Inmates' Training and Productivity now headed by ACG E O
Ogundele, mni. He takes over from ACG Ali Bala Salihi, mni who has
been retired from service. ACG Musa Usman from Zone 'D' Minna now heads
the Directorate of Administration and Supply while ACG Charles Ahaotu
takes over the Directorate of Works and Logistics. ACG Shehu Kangiwa
heads the Directorate of Finance and Budget even as ACG Musa Salami from
Zone 'C' Bauchi superintendents over Health and Social Welfare
Directorate. The Operations Directorate is now headed by ACG Etsu Ubi,
fdc.
Other
senior officers affected in the mass movement include 6 Zonal
Coordinators, 25 State Controllers and 32 officers in-charge of
different prison formations across the country.
The
Prison boss noted that the movement became necessary to inject fresh
orientation in the workforce, reduce idleness and truancy particularly
at the the National Headquarters in order to enhance efficiency. He
added that the era where officers spend their entire work life in one
location and on a particular post was over. Such practice, he observed,
does not allow for sustenance of security in the prison yard and also
negates sound understanding of the dynamics of penal management that is
needed to make a difference in the life of offenders.
