The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has appointed Chief Superintendent of Corrections Jane Osuji as its new Public Relations Officer, effective immediately. The appointment was approved by the Controller General of the NCoS, Sylvester Nwakuche, and follows the retirement of Deputy Controller of Corrections Umar Abubakar on 19 November 2025.
A native of Imo State, Osuji holds a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Advertising from Lagos State University and a Master’s in Public Administration from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. She joined the former Nigerian Prisons Service in 2009 as an Assistant Superintendent of Prisons II and has completed all mandatory courses for her cadre, as well as specialized training such as the Internal Security and Low‑Intensity Conflict Operations Course at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji.
Osuji’s career includes roles as Assistant Public Relations Officer in the Lagos State Command, Public Relations Officer of the FCT Command, and Assistant National Public Relations Officer at the Service Headquarters. Prior to her new appointment, she served as Press Secretary to three Ministers of Interior between 2015 and 2023 and was a member of the Public Relations Unit at the NCoS Headquarters in Abuja.
Her appointment is a historic milestone for the NCoS, as she becomes the first woman to hold the position of Service Public Relations Officer. With her extensive experience and expertise in public relations, Osuji is well‑equipped to lead the service’s communication strategy, enhance its public image, and strengthen relationships with stakeholders.
