It was unprecedented for someone still in service not going on retirement to be so celebrated Nigeria TundeLadipo NigerianCorrectionalServices
The crowd was made up of both officials, serving and retired, various stakeholders, NGOs, representatives of international agencies, family and friends. All came from far and near for the special event that took place there.
He has always been among those so concerned for reforms to come to the Nigerian Penal System. As gentle as he is he does not condone any act of indiscipline from his staff who regard him as their team leader by example and one who equally cares for their welfare, as he does for the inmates. The last few years saw quite a number of radical actions during his tenure as Controller of Prisons, Lagos State Command. He was very active on many fronts. One of his campaign to get the state to adopt alternatives to custodial sentencing of minor offenses such as infractions on their environmental laws which overpopulates the facilities with those unable to pay fines demanded by state agencies causing a myriad of problems such as feeding, health, and sanitation as well as restiveness.
The creation of the Controller Prison Services Stakeholders Forum was his brainchild. For the first time, stakeholders could interface directly with the Controller to report anomalies they sometimes face while on visitation to carry out their various activities. He created a platform where grievances, differences could be resolved most times with immediate effect. It also enabled him to garner support for improvements in the prisons and for enabling the rehabilitation programmes.
This trend must be intensified; that is, the employment of professionals and re-training of staff, for the Nigerian Correctional Services’ human capacity build-up to be successful in facing the old and new challenges posed by the new Act. Tunde Olatunbosun Ladipo was born on January 11, 1962, in Kaduna to the family of late Chief S.L. Ladipo and Mrs. Ladipo. He attended Government Primary School, Gombe, and Government Secondary School, Makarfi, Zaria in Kaduna State. He proceeded to The Polytechnic Ibadan for his Higher School Certificate and gained admission into the University of Ibadan where he obtained of Bachelor’s Degree in History and Political Science.
