    The Federal Government has called on the newly appointed Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Sylvester Nwakuche, to prioritize transformation within the Service by focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

    The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made this statement during Nwakuche’s official decoration ceremony on Friday in Abuja. The Senate had earlier confirmed his appointment on March 25, following his acting leadership since December 13, 2024, after the exit of his predecessor, Haliru Nababa.

    Addressing the new CG, the minister underscored the importance of visionary leadership, accountability, and the urgent need to set measurable goals. He emphasized the President’s confidence in Nwakuche’s ability to lead and reform Nigeria’s over 250 custodial centres.

    “You carry a national responsibility. Lead from the front. We are not looking for a condemning service but a transformative one. Custodial centres should renew hope and restore lives,” Tunji-Ojo stated.

    Highlighting the human side of corrections, the minister described inmates as “awaiting assets” who must be treated with dignity. “They are your children. Correct them with compassion so they can reintegrate into society better,” he added.

    Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, also addressed the CG, urging him to embrace the high expectations ahead. “This is a critical time. Nigerians are watching. We need a change in the correctional service narrative,” she said.

    In his response, Controller General Nwakuche expressed deep gratitude for the trust placed in him. He described his appointment as a renewed call to serve and reform, not just an elevation in rank.

    “This moment is not just about promotion. It is about redefining what correctional service means for this nation,” he said.

    Nwakuche unveiled a comprehensive seven-point reform agenda focusing on security enhancement, prison decongestion, improved infrastructure, staff welfare, and youth rehabilitation.

    He emphasized the urgency of addressing overcrowding, with over two-thirds of inmates classified as Awaiting Trial Persons. He pledged to work closely with the judiciary, state governments, and other stakeholders to accelerate decongestion efforts.

    Other key areas of focus include workforce development, infrastructure modernization, and expanded non-custodial options. He also highlighted plans to revitalize Borstal Institutions for the rehabilitation of young offenders.

    “Our youth must be redirected, not discarded. Through education, character development, and proper support, we can build a safer future,” Nwakuche said.

    He called on staff, stakeholders, and partners to support the transformation agenda, stating, “Together, we can reshape the Correctional Service into a model of meaningful reform and strong leadership..
