Mr Umar named the promoted superior officers as Abdullahi Magaji, Ahmadu Adamu, Timothy Tinuoye, Marylauren Melchizedek, Jerome Akinrujomu, and Joseph Usendiah.
He said the newly promoted DCGs were decorated with their new ranks by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, alongside their spouses.
He reported Mr Aregbesola as congratulating them on their new positions, urging them to redouble efforts to meet the mandates of the service.
He reiterated that the federal government and the generality of Nigerians expected them to bring their expertise and experiences to bear and improve the fortunes of correctional administration in Nigeria.
The promoted DCGs have since been deployed to head various directorates of the service.
