Senate to Review Feeding Cost of Prisoners from N450 to N1000 Per day | Daily Report Nigeria

The Senate Committee on Interior has said that they would review the feeding cost of inmates per day from N450 to N1000.

The decision was reached on Wednesday, October 27, following a visit of officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service to the committee to defend the 2022 budget estimates.

While the NCoS officials proposed the increment of the feeding cost from N450 to N750 due to the high cost of food items, a member of the panel, Senator Chukwuka Utazi said the amount is grossly inadequate to feed the inmates.

Utazi said;

“You’re dealing with adults. How can they survive with that amount? When you send convicts to prisons, instead of reforming them, they become more hardened because of the way they’re treated, particularly food”

The Chairman of the committee, Senator Kashim Shettima further pointed out that there are over 66,000 inmates in custodial centres across the country and 47,559 of them are unconvicted, the committee therefore decided to meet with the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, the Nigerian Bar Association and other stakeholders over the decongestion of custodial centres and the situation of awaiting trial inmates.
