Be more disciplined, Edo Correctional Service Boss tasks promoted officers
Mrs Philomena Emehinola, State Controller, Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS), Edo Command, has tasked newly promoted officers in the command to be more disciplined and hard working.
Emehinola gave the charge on Thursday in Benin, during the decoration of the 109 newly promoted officers with their new ranks.
She noted that promotion was a call to more duty and commitment, and urged the promotees to show utmost dedication to their assigned tasks.
She also noted that President Bola Tinubu had been benevolent to the NCoS, particular with the massive promotions of personnel in 2024.
“President Bola Tinubu has been more benevolent to the service, particularly with the historic promotions of more than 12,000 personnel in 2024.
“Since his assumption of office, he has shown more support to the correctional service. Our promotions are no longer delayed. And we are sure that the 2025 promotions will even be more earlier than this,” she said.
Emehinola, who was newly promoted Assistant Controller General (ACG), however pacified those not captured in the 2024 promotions.
She noted that their promotions would come at God’s allotted time, but urged them to brace up.
“Let us continue to move the Service forward. No one else can do it for us, except ourselves. All of us have to brace up, be more disciplined and hardwork to take the service to an enviable height,” she added.
She disclosed that eight officers were promoted to the rank of Deputy Controller (DC) and another eight to Assistant Controller (AC).
She also disclosed that 12 were promoted Chief Superintendent, 10 superintendent, 32 Deputy Superintendent, 22 Assistant Superintendent I and 13 Assistant Superintendent III.
Responding on behalf of others, Smart Omonua, a Deputy Controller, commended the authorities of the service for the elevation, and assured that they would reciprocate the gesture.
Supreme News reports that the occasion was graced by senior officers of other sister security agencies in the state.
