Ohh...If it was the last administration then I agree it's more than possible...

This is coming from a government that claims its fighting corruption.

What the minister said is based on the amount being budgeted by the federal government but we know what the real figure is. So who is the balance with

Yemidaniels:
Nigeria government is annually spending N10billion for feeding of prisoners in the country, minister of interior AbduraRaham Dambazau has said. With the country estimated prison population of 57,000, the country is roughly spending N14,000 for a three-square meal of each prisoner per day. http://dailynigerian.com/2016/05/10/nigeria-spends-n14000-daily-to-feed-each-prisoner-minister/

This government is full of clowns. I am wondering, how we got this low.
The president does not read his budget, yet presents to NASS!!!
EFCC do not investigate before going to the press!!!
Now a minister is saying this trash. Either he is confused, misquoted or just went to press as usual without verifying facts.

Now check this: There are 365 days in a Calendar year. If actually you feed prisoners 3 times a day, that translates to 1095 meals per prisoner. If you have 57000 prisoners, that amounts to 62,450,000 meals in a year. Therefore if you budgeted N10 Billion, you are actually spending N480.65 per day or N160.22 per meal.

This minister deserves to be sacked immediately, politic aside!!!

Officially, government is spending N14,000 per prisoner per day while the prisoners probably get just N140 or even less. The balance goes to someone's private bank account.

So y where they insulting the British prime minister...even if u serve KFC combo box for breakfast, tfc fried rice and chicken with salad for lunch with mama kas vegetable soup with pounded yam for dinner with even dominos pizza in btw meals, e no even reach 10k ... Corruption has touched every aspect of this country, it has eaten so deep ... No wonder a lot are awaiting trial, so that they can Mk more money per head... What a nation

I think what Nigerians cannot accept is outright misinformation.

How can a news medium that worth its name distort an innocent statement made by the Honourable Minister of Interior?


For the records, the Minister said the Federal Government requires N10 billion every year to feed about 70, 000 Prisoners who are mostly on awaiting trial list.

Hence, the point he was making was on the need to privatise it so that it will be managed by the private sector so as to reduce cost on government. You get the exact word of the Minister here http://leadership.ng/news/525426/fg-introduce-biometric-identification-tackle-smuggling-arms-drugs-danbazzau

Finally, I appeal to the managers of Nairaland to checkmate outright disinformation because they can claim to love Nigeria when they allowed the majority to be misinformed.

apc govt & pmb has turned Nigeria to a laughing stock in the eyes of international community with the kind of lies they tell over the media

Can one say voting this present regime is like 'Missing Road' for us in Nigeria............

N14,000.00 for feeding a prisoner that will still look haggard when released?

Minimum wage as at present is N18,000 that is 2-day meal ticket less for a Prisoner in Nigeria (Shows how Nigerian Workers are treated by the 'Masses-oriented' government

I don't think this IS true/coming from a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Maybe, what he meant was this: N14000 which translates to N140.00 per day

Haba, N14,000.

Outright misinformation

Sometimes you wonder who is more gullible; the one that misinforms or the one that accepts every news without checking the facts. If government requires N10b ANNUALLY to feed 57,000 inmates, a simple mathematics shows that that's equivalent to N480 per day N160 per meal.

If so, how about privatizing the prison system and pay the private company 14k per day for each prisoner? All the govt would do is pay salaries of military men and prison officials. While the private company takes care of feeding, clothing, housing, maintenance, exercise, health, etc of every prisoner.

Please o. What are they eating sef??
I never chop today... epp me

Mr Big's Rice & Chicken = #1500 - #1700
Jevinik Eba & Soup = #2000 max
Abokis bread & Egg & tea= #400
One bag of cold pure water = #200
Total = #4,200
Mean while, with mama put, 500 will do the work.
But inspite of this, both this and all the past ministers of interior should face corruption charges

Maybe plus the warmers. We want #change from this government o. What was this year budget

Tomorrow all of will come here calling for ABS's head. This isn't just corruption but criminality in the highest order. What did they take us for? It is better not to even say this kind of a thing, because saying it will only make people like us angry.

Buhari come and see corruption. The feeding money to me is a scam already.

this kind lie will make satan confess that JESUS Christ is Lord

This people wan dey encourage crime, people wey no see food chop go commit crime with unrealistic expectations of being partakers of 14k feeding per day.

Dambuazzu abi wetin dem dey call you, you can lie, Satan sef dey envy you, devil send him agent for training for your house.

RE: NIGERIA SPENDS N14, 000 DAILY TO FEED PRISONERS

The news credited to the Honourable Minister of Interior Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau as saying Nigeria spends N14, 000 daily to feed each prisoner is the height of mischief, news distortion and misinformation which no news platform that worth its name can let go without punishing whoever is responsible for such a spurious story.

That the Minister has suffered alot of mud-slinging as a result of sensational reporting by 'Yellow Journalists' is an understatement, but the worrisome part is the ferocious dimension such an ungodly adventure has taken lately.

At a Town Hall Meeting held in Kaduna State, The Minister of Interior, General AB Dambazau among other things said, Nigeria requires about N10 billion annually to feed Prisoners across the country. His words: ''Our Prisons are congested with close to 70, 000 prison inmates and awaiting trials. Quiet a number of them are there because they cannot their fines.''

Besides the Minister wants to reduce our prison congestion by 60 percent. This he has done by warning the police officials not to arrest people indiscreminatly again.

Since the writer of such a mischievous  story has shown
that he does not understand simple arithmetic let alone
getting his facts together before going public,  I have
decided to educate him a little on the subject matter.

In last year's budget, the sum of N450 was appropriated for
each prison inmate per day; this includes N150 for gas! And
there are 65, 000 inmates nationwide.

Now, if you multiply N450 by 65, 000 you will get N29, 250,
000 as the total amount consumed by prisoners everyday. So,
to get the yearly cost, you multiply N29, 250, 000 by 365
which is the number of days we have in a year. Now, if you
do this, you will get N10, 676, 250, 000 being the annual
amount spent on prisoners.

The Minister also said that government cannot sustain this
huge amount spent on feeding prisoners alone. Hence, the
Ministry is looking at other options such as the reviving of
the  moribund prison farms which he ordered their reopening
last year!
