Shettima observed that Nababa satisfied the requirements of Section 3(2), as contained in the Nigerian Correctional Service Act, 2019.
According to him, the nominee, while appearing for screening before the Committee, identified a lack of adequate supply of arms and ammunition to curb jailbreak in the country and lack of adequate funding, as some of the challenges faced by the NCS.
