The Federal Government, on Thursday, said it had raised N585m towards the settlement of fines for inmates in a bid to decongest correctional centres across the country. https://punchng.com/fg-pays-n585m-fines-begins-nationwide-prisoners-release/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1701387860 13 Likes

Awesome!!! Tunji-Ojo is really working very hard. God bless him and his team in the Ministery of Interior. Now I understand why he was moved to the ministry of interior after the initial portfolio was announced. He seems to be working from a strategy book with KPIs. He wanted the beneficiaries of the act of benevolence to be with their loved ones before Christmas and so they can make the new year on fresh start as free citizens. I see many of them becoming great in the future. I plead with them to please turn a new leave and enjoy the rest of their lives as free law abiding citizens. Thank you to everyone who donated and toiled hard to make this possible. May God bless you all. Thank you President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for this humane gesture and patriotic dedication to our fatherland. God bless Nigeria for ever!Check my signature for free stuffs! 56 Likes 2 Shares |

FreeStuffsNG: He set agenda for himself and simply executes. Wike did the same. Many ministers cannot set any agenda which explains why they are confused. Bosun Tijani needs to set milestones for himself and focus. Same as the guy in mines, steel, blue economy, creative economy and so on. It is a way to measure oneself and let people keep track. For mines, we are yet to see his policy direction beyond going to look for investors and withdrawing licenses. This is how to fail. Call subject matter experts and develop a road map for the sector. Once people see you know where you are going, local businessmen will invest in the sector and embassies will tell their countries that opportunities abound in Nigeria. If Tunji Ojo comes up with a plan to ask for investors to come and build and run prisons for example, they'd come. Festus Keyamo too needs to get his acts together. Infact, all ministers should sit up. You don't have to know everything. You have to be knowledgeable enough to know that you don't know anything. Study the party manifesto, gather subject matter experts and organize a one-week agenda setting retreat with them. Once you have a clear policy direction, execution is not difficult. Look at Wike, wanting to carry out a staff audit in FCT. That is a plan to cut costs. For Bosun Tijani, energize NIPOST by engaging local people to purchase vehicles that should be doing haulage across the country. Just collect taxes. We have the market. Dear minister, what is your plan? 54 Likes 3 Shares |

Nackzy: This has always been a pattern among ex-convicts. Prisons are supposed to be correctional facilities, but I don't know what exactly happens in there. Anyways, this move is commedable. If you visit Nigeria's overcrowded prisons, you will see how Nigeria intentionally wastes its own people, especially the males. When these prisoners tell you the flimsy reasons why they were abandoned in a prison, you will weep for this country. The last time we visited them in Ikoyi as a religious group and gave them several gift items, the one they call pastor was crying and praying for us that nothing would bring us there. It was an emotional moment for me. Dude looked terribly malnourished. Bros, this country is just sick, abeg! 24 Likes |

Federal Government “helping” convicts by paying for their fines from the coffers of the Federal Government, back into the coffers of the Federal Government, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda. Nigeria must be a comedy channel in heaven. Whenever the Angels want to have a good laugh, they just tune in to Channel Nigeria. 9 Likes

mytime24: The funds were raised through corporate Nigeria as part of their CSR. They were donations received for the purpose. You know many NGOs and individuals had been asking for decongestion, but some people still decided to keep the prisoners there probably to justify the money paid to the officials for feeding. Once the prisons are decongested, budget reduces. I think the Governors and President can exercise the prerogative of mercy and decongest our prisons. It is justified because many of those fined have already served the terms in lieu of the fine. The money used to pay the fines can be used to train them in various skills to be useful to them when they are released. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, please consider this part of training them in areas like shoe making, packaging of products, sweeping streets and working in factories. I do believe you are reading. I am sure I speak the minds of Nairalanders when I say the country is grateful to you. 15 Likes |
