Aregbesola Inaugurates ‘Command and Controls Rooms’ at NCoS Headquarters

Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has commissioned a block of newly-built ICT Command and Control Rooms at the Nigerian Correctional Services, NCoS, Headquarters.

He also unveiled the Service’s new uniform, while also commissioning 40 operational vehicles.

The operational vehicles will help enhance operational efficiency, provide speedy access to justice thereby de-congesting custodial centres.

This is just as the situation/monitoring rooms will be providing a situation report (sitrep) on custodial centres.

In his speech, Aregbesola, who also presented awards to select NCoS’ staff for displaying gallantry in the course of discharging their duties, emphasized that the award ceremony is a reminder that the government will always appreciate and reward gallantry, professionalism and patriotism.

He disclosed that the Nigerian Correctional Service is now, in line with what is obtainable internationally, becoming digitised.

Aregbesola noted that all NCoS custodial facilities are red zones, hence should be inviolable. He warned that any intruder that comes near them should pay the full price.
