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 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.

Story for only the Gods.


so in 2 days a prisoner in Nigeria spends the minimum wage of a Nigerian worker, assalamalekun .

How come this end up in the budget of charge while the prisoners hardly see one good square meal a day. Anyway, no different between PDP and APC budget sha.
Cc: Lalasticlala This government is fantastically corrupt!

WTF!!! Like seriously?? Chai top prison officials are fantastically/cokastically KWORUPT. e for better make dem dey give dem just one thousand naira for hand daily make dem buy wetin dem want eat. As if dem dey even cook for them beta food in d first place

Now can you imagine a Minister opening his wide mouth to spew this rubbish? What do they take Nigerians for? So a prisoner spends an average of N4650 per meal? And our minimum wage is N18000. And this administration is not fantastically corrupt! This administration is very bold at spewing out figures, without correlating it with common sense and simple economics. That means that the prison must have a big menu for each prisoner;
Breakfast: 2 tins of peak milk, 4 eggs, 4 chicken laps, a bottle of wine, chocolate pudding for desert, 5 bottled water (Must be EVA).

Lunch; Garri/Fufu/semovita/tuwo/ (at the prisoner's liberty), one whole chicken, ice cream, juice.

Dinner; Pap,Fried plantain, 900g of Peak milk, Sharwarma/mutton/turkey(soft), wine, and bottled water.

Ps; Extra meal can be requested. Eating in between meals can also be arranged

Where is the hardworking lalasticlala? Please come and see the 8th wonder of creation!! Another Lai Mohammed has arisen. Even the devil has seen serious competition in fabricating fairy lies.

Even with this your salivating analysis, no any meal there is up to #4650.

They are only over inflating the price to make room for embezzlement. Na God go punish them.

N14.000 for the watery beans? There is corruption in the food procurement system of the Nigerian Prison service as l know for fact that their contractors source for low quality foodstuff for a far cheaper price as against what is stated it was paid. I remember that most of the weevil infested beans at the Akwata section of Ogbete main market Enugu usually ended up at the prisons!

All what I heard is given to those prisoners is watery beans.
Yeye people!

This is a lie. The minister is alleged to have said this in a public forum and yet no major newspaper reported it except an obscure blog? The correct figure is 200 Naira per prisoner per day.

Perhaps what the minister actually wanted to say was N14,000 monthly. That's N400/N500 daily. Slip of tongue bear with him please. Remember in all Nigerian secondary schools. The average 3 square meals is N300 daily. Lol.


And to think that NGN18,000 is the minimum wage. Smh

On the contract award letter for contractors supplying food to inmates, it is less than 150 per meal inclusive of gas or firewood.

Fear god
Is it the liquid undone beans that you can count the beans in the water
Or amala without meat
Corruption everywhere in naija

Exactly what are this ministers smoking? Or exactly what do they see Nigerians as? Zombies maybe!, 14,000 in a day, 10billion in a year? Somebody must be mad!

N14000? For watery beans and pure water?

Choi..... chaii! What a LIE!

No. In one day, a prisoner is #4,000 short of spending the minimum wage.

Dambazzau is a thief and shameless. He and all former Ministers of interior should be quizzed by the EFFC and charged to Court already

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!
