Minister of Justice Siromi Turaga officially inducted Acting Commissioner Sevuloni Naucukidi at the Fiji Corrections Service headquarters. This event signifies a key leadership transition within the Fiji Corrections Service (FCS) as it adapts to recent changes.
During the induction ceremony, Minister Turaga expressed his trust in Naucukidi’s capabilities to steer the FCS through this pivotal period. He highlighted the necessity of continuing reform efforts and ensuring strong support from the command group for the new Acting Commissioner.
Naucukidi, in his remarks, committed to upholding high standards within the FCS, stating, “I am honoured to serve as the Acting Commissioner, and I look forward to collaborating with the entire FCS team and the Ministry of Justice to address the challenges ahead and successfully implement our reforms.”
This induction comes in light of ongoing efforts within the FCS to enhance operational effectiveness and rehabilitation practices, as previously emphasized by Dr. Jalesi Nakarawa, the former Commissioner. In his leadership, Nakarawa focused on professionalism and integrity, principles that Naucukidi appears committed to sustaining as he takes on his new role.
The emphasis on reform and collaboration among the leadership suggests a promising outlook for the future of corrections in Fiji. By building connections with government officials and prioritizing integrity, the FCS is poised to navigate challenges and foster a more efficient and rehabilitative corrections system.
Overall, Naucukidi’s leadership and the support from Minister Turaga signal a hopeful and proactive approach to addressing the pressing needs of the Fiji corrections landscape, aiming for a transformative impact.
