The Nigerian Correctional Service has appointed Mr Musa Ahmed, as the new controller of its command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Mr Chukwuedo Humphrey, the Public Relations Officer of the command said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Ahmed took over from Dr Abdul-Rahman Maiyaki who had been redeployed to head the works section of the service at the national headquarters, Abuja.
The new controller urged personnel of the command to always behave well.
Ahmed also urged them to shun acts that could be detrimental to their job as correctional officers.
He urged staff to be security conscious, saying that the security challenges facing the country required absolute vigilance and dedication to work.
“Yuletide season is characterised by high level social vices and security challenges, hence the need to always be at alert.
“The integrity of our custodial centres must be jealously guided against any form of breaches,’’ the statement quoted Ahmed as saying.
Mr. Ahmed had served in many formations, including as controller of the command in Kogi and zonal headquarters, Kaduna.
He holds a Masters degree in Public Policy and Administration from Bayero University, Kano.
