NIGERIAN CORRECTIONAL SERVICE RECRUITMENT 2025

About Company:

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), formerly known as the Nigerian Prisons Service, is the government agency responsible for the custody, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders in Nigeria. Operating under the Ministry of Interior, the service was renamed in 2019 to reflect its broader mandate, which includes not just incarceration but also correctional and reformatory programs aimed at reducing recidivism. NCoS manages custodial centers across the country and runs non-custodial services like community service, probation, and parole. The agency emphasizes vocational training, education, and psychological support to help inmates reintegrate successfully into society and contribute positively after release.
