On the other hand, the Controller General of Corrections (CGC), Haliru Nababa, FICMC, MFR, mni, approved the promotion of 7,505 junior officers.

In his congratulatory message, Nababa charged the beneficiaries to see the elevation as an opportunity to put in their best effort in the discharge of their duties. The CG admonished the beneficiaries to note that promotion comes with additional responsibility; hence, it is expected of them to brace up for the tasks ahead. He also called on those who did not benefit this time not to feel bad as more opportunities abound in the future.
