The Senate on Tuesday, confirmed Sylvester Nwakuche’s appointment as Controller-General, Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
This was sequel to the consideration and adoption of a report by the Committee on Interior at plenary, submitted by the Chairman of the Committee, Sen Adams Oshiomhole (Edo, APC).
Oshiomhole said the committee screened and interrogated the credentials as well as capacity of the nominee and found the nominee with an impeccable character, full of exposure, experience, intellectual energy, drive and worthy of the appointment.
He said Nwakuche has held several command positions and benefited from training and re-training as an officer of the NCoS, adding that there was no petition against the nominee who he said had displayed intellect during the screening.
The chairman of the committee therefore urged the Senate to approve the appointment of the nominee.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio after a voice vote approval, congratulated Nwakuche, expressing hope that his confirmation would spur him to further give his best to the service of the nation.
He said his confirmation was coming at a difficult era of jail breaks, and expressed the hope that the issue would come to an end.
