An officer of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), formerly Nigerian Prisons Service, has written to President Bola Tinubu to complain about alleged corruption and poor remuneration in the service.
According to the aggrieved official, the NCS personnel were being poorly paid and treated unfairly unlike their colleagues in other departments at the Ministry of Interior.
He said some of the personnel now depend on inmates to feed their families.
Part of the letter stipulate and quote “Correctional service being that agency solely responsible for the safe keeping of those legally detained, rehabilitation, reformation and reintegration back to the society; we the staff of the agency are not taken care of. Our hazardous duty seems not to be recognised and rewarded accordingly. Junior staffs salaries ranges from N38,000 to N65,000 from grade level 3 to 7 respectively
