The new Controller, CC Bala Dan’azumi Kitsam who is an indigene of Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State, bagged a B.Tech (Hons) Agric Technology from the Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, Adamawa state.
“The new Controller of Corrections has served in different capacities, and various strategic offices across commands and formations.
“Until his posting as the new Controller of Corrections, Yobe State command, he was the officer-in-charge of the Non-Custodial Service, Bauchi state command,” the statement added.
The command urged the residents of the state to cooperate with the Nigerian Correctional Service in the area of reformation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders and other aspects capable of strengthening the peace and security of the state.
