I See,it was a VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT.

Prisons Boss, Ibrahim
Zakari Bows Out At 60

The controller general,
Nigeria Prisons Service
(NPS), Mr Zakari Ohinoyi
Ibrahim, yesterday
proceeded on voluntary
retirement from the
service, after attaining 35
years in service and 60
years of age
, LEADERSHIP
Friday can authoritatively
report.
While the federal
government is on the
lookout for a substantive
successor, Alhaji Aminu
Suleh is covering his duties
in the interim.
According to the service
spokesperson, Mr Ope
Fatinikun,the retired
Prisons boss had WRITTEN
to the president and
commander-in-chief,
SEEKING PERMISSION to
VOLUNTARILY RETIRE after a
meritorious service that
has brought him to the
peak of his career
.
“President Jonathan has
accepted his reasons and
instructed him to
handover to the most
senior officer”, he added.
LEADERSHIP Friday
gathered from reliable
sources at the Ministry of
Interior that Suleh, who is
the most senior officer
after Ibrahim, is likely to
be confirmed as the
substantive head of the
Nigerian Prisons Service,
while there are
speculations that another
serving assistant controller
could be appointed to run
the affairs of the service.
Mr Zakari Ohinoyi Ibrahim
was until his appointment
as the controller-general
of prisons in January 2012,
the deputy controller-
general of prisons in
charge of the Directorate
of Administration and
Supplies at the Prisons
Headquarters, Abuja.
Born on January 1, 1955 at
Kuru in Toto local
government area of
Nasarawa State, he
transferred his service
from the teaching sector
to the Nigerian Prisons
Service as a Chief
Superintendent of Prisons
(CSP) in 1989.
Your email address will

He is a good man,unlike an average Nigerian civil servant,who would want to perpetuate himself/herself in office.
