The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has announced the appointment of Chief Superintendent of Corrections Jane Osuji as its new Public Relations Officer — the first woman to hold the position in the agency’s history.
Her appointment was confirmed in a statement issued by Deputy Controller General of Corrections Ado Sale, who heads the Human Resources Directorate. Osuji assumes the role following the retirement of the former spokesperson, Deputy Controller of Corrections Umar Abubakar, on November 19, 2025.
Osuji holds a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Advertising from Lagos State University as well as a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso.
With a career spanning several key communication roles within the Service, she previously served as Public Relations Officer for the Lagos and FCT Commands, Assistant National PRO at the NCoS National Headquarters, and Press Secretary to three successive Ministers of Interior between 2015 and 2023.
The Service said her elevation reflects recognition of her “extensive professional experience” in strategic communication, media management, and public engagement.
