Tinubu appoints Ndidi as Acting CG of Nigerian Correctional Service

President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, appointed Nwakuche Ndidi as the Acting Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service.

Ndidi’s appointment takes effect from December 15, 2024, following the expiration of the tenure of the current Controller-General, Haliru Nababa.

Nababa, was appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari on February 18, 2021. However, with the expiration of his tenure, the need for a new leader to take the reins became imperative.

According to a statement by the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Board, Ja’afaru Ahmed, Ndidi’s appointment is a testament to his wealth of experience and expertise in the field.

Ndidi, born on November 26, 1966, hails from Oguta in Imo State. Until his appointment, he was the Deputy Controller-General in charge of the Training and Staff Development Directorate. He is a fellow of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies and holds the national honour of Member of the Federal Republic.
