The Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), Sylvester Nwakuche, has approved the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Corrections (CSC) Jane Osuji as the new Service Public Relations Officer (SPRO).
In a statement released on Monday in Abuja, the Deputy Controller-General of Corrections in charge of Human Resources, Dr. Ado Sale, said the appointment is historic because it is the first time a woman will serve as the spokesperson of the agency.

She also has a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso.

She has also attended several specialised training, including the Internal Security/Low Intensity Conflict Operations Course at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji.
Osuji has had an extensive career across various formations, serving as Assistant Public Relations Officer in the Lagos State Command and as Public Relations Officer in the FCT Command.
She was later deployed to the National Headquarters as Assistant National Public Relations Officer, where she served under four Controllers General.
Between 2015 and 2023, she also functioned as Press Secretary to three successive Ministers of Interior.
Until her recent appointment, she was a staff member of the Public Relations Unit at the NCoS Headquarters in Abuja.
