Nigeria Spends N14,000 Daily to Feed Each Prisoner- Minister
Guess after reading this you will run to prison and ask them to detain you going by the direction the country is heading. Imagine 14,000 daily for prisoners, while minimum wage is 18,000 monthly and corpers takes 19,800 monthly.
Nigerian government is annually spending N10billion for feeding of prisoners in the country, minister of Interior, AbdurRahman Dambazau has said.
With the country’s estimated prison population of 57,000, the government is roughly spending N14,000 for a three-square meal of each prisoner per day.
Speaking at a town hall meeting in Kaduna on Tuesday, Dambazau said his ministry is searching inward to see how it can harness some revenue sources in the sector to complement government’s efforts.
“It is unacceptable for government to be commiting N10 billion every year on feeding of prison inmates,” Dambazau said.
