Nigerian Correctional Service promotes 120 officers in Edo

A total of 120 Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) officers have been promoted in Edo State to various ranks in the ongoing nationwide promotion exercise in the service.

Speaking at the decoration ceremony of the newly promoted officers at the Nigerian Correctional Service, Edo State command, the Comptroller, Emehimola Philomena, charged officers to see their elevations as a call to more work, which they must justify.

“Those of you that have been promoted, you must be ready to do more work, for the rewards for promotion is more work.

“You have been called to duty, and you have to prove to the Nigerian Correctional Service that you are up and doing that your promotion was not a mistake.’’

“Be diligent in your job and those of you who were not promoted, by the grace of God next time, you will have your own share of the promotion,” Emehimola said.

She commended the Comptroller General of NCS, Haliru Nababa, for ensuring that officers of the command were among those promoted in the service, just as she assured that the promoted officers would live up to their responsibility.
