Amid Outrage Over Delay, Nigerian Prison Yet to Pay ‘Elections Duty Allowances’ to Personnel

The Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, has assured that its men and officers who participated in providing security during the 2023 general elections will soon get their ‘Elections Duty Allowances’.

The Spokesperson of the Service, Abubakar Umar, disclosed this in a chat with PRNigeria.

Unlike its sister security and para-military agencies, the NCoS, up till yesterday (Monday), was yet to pay the ‘Duty Allowances’ of its personnel involved in the 2023 polls.

The delay in the non-payment of the allowances, PRNigeria gathered, provoked the anger of some officers and men of the Nigerian prison service who took part in the general elections.

One of the NCoS officers who is yet to be paid told PRNigeria, while declining to mention his name, that: “Weeks after Presidential and Gubernatorial elections, there are obvious lamentations and disquiet from officers of our Service over the non payment of their allowances.

“Other Services in the Interior Ministry and indeed the Police, have paid their personnel. But nothing yet has been heard from our NCoS. No official communication from the authority regarding the matter.

“We are just being kept in the dark. We are even afraid we may be denied the allowances or be short changed in the payment at the end, as against what other security agencies paid their officers”.

But according to Mr. Umar, the NCoS spokesperson, the affected officers and men will be paid within this week.

“On the issue of payment of officers that participated in the just concluded election duties, the process is on and within the week they will all receive their allowances,” he told PRNigeria.
