The
Controller General of the Nigeria Prison Service (NPS) Peter Ezenwa Ekpendu who
was retired on Tuesday 17th May, 2016 lamented that officers and men of the
Service were highly indiscipline.
While
delivering his address at his pulling out ceremony at the Prisons headquarters
in Abuja, Ekpendu warned personnel to obey the rules of service.
"The
issue of petitions in our Service is not only alarming but terribly
embarrassing to the administration," he said. "I cannot understand a
situation where a non-commission officer will have the courage to pick up his
pen to write against his administration not even knowing the implications.
"Our
officers have now resorted to a situation where if they want to protest about
anything, they just throw the channel of communication overboard.
They will
write the Controller General of Prisons, to Mr. President, then to President of
Senate, thereafter to the House Committee on Interior and the House Committee
on Interior, public petitions.
They
write to my minister and others. That rubbish has to stop and stop
forthwith."
Ekpendu
said he did his best while in charge of affairs of the Service between 5th
December, 2014 and 17th May, 2016, insisting that all the action he took were
in good faith.
