Please where is the number of the man who said they feed prisoners with 14,000 naira daily, i need to tell him he has a special place in hell

Dear Sir,

I think we should not allow quacks who thinks that by being half-baked Journalist, they are better than you and I to mislead us about feeding prisoners with N14, 000 per day.

The Minister said Nigeria needs about N10 billion yearly to feed about 70, 000 prisooners. Now, if you multiply N14, 000 by 70, 000, you will get N980 million per day. So, if you calculate N980 million by 365 days which make a year, you will get N357.7 billion per year. The question is, is 357.7 billion equal to N10 billon which the minister said at the Town Hall Meeting?

If you are to divide N10 billion by 65, 000 which is the total number of prisoner in Nigeria, what you will get is N450 per day.

However, here is a story that arouse my curiosity on the matter before I embark on the research.

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/

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!

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

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.

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 has plan to reduce our prison congestion that currently has 60-70% of people classified as awaiting trial

Jesusloveyou:
nothing like lie, the past govt is so corrupt to the extent of taking corruption to prison, the prison officials even stole more heavily than the prisoners.

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.

Dambazau is working and is among the few one making us proud

pangea2:
Are you his PA?
Or that man that was polishing his shoe in that other video?

Thanks. I am not his PA, but that will not prevent me from speaking the truth. I am from the South South and we have nothing in common

When people come Nairaland to insult people tarnish peoples image, I think men of conscience should speak out before people are misled. Below is a piece I found on Dambazau

Sworn-in as Interior Minister on November 11, 2015, by
President Muhammadu Buhari, General Dambazau immediately
rolled up his sleeves to effectively meet the challenges
governance has put on his shoulders. And in less than six
months, there are records on ground to justify the change
mantra of the Buhari Administration. For Instance, the
Interior Ministry entered in to the biggest partnership
between it and the Lagos State Government which led to the
procurement and launching of internal security hardware
worth N4.8 billion. The Ministry this year organized the
largest counter-terrorism training for officials and members
of the Nigerian Police Force. The Minister has changed the
orientation of the Nigerian Police from one that is rights
violator to one that is a respecter of human rights of the
citizens in the course of carrying out their duties.


Also, within these short periods, the Minister
professionalized the operations of the Federal Fire Service (FFS). It can be noted that before now, the duties of the
service are been performed by the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA), while the FFS which has the fire
mandate is left redundant. He has also ordered strict
adherence to the nation’s National Fire Code in public and
private buildings so as to mitigate the incessant fire
outbreaks in the country. In the same vein, the Minister has
personally visited some sites like Nnewi in Anambra State
which recently experienced fire outbreak to commiserate with
victims of the inferno and assured them of Federal
Government's support and plans to prevent future
occurrence.


The Minister has also instilled discipline in the activities
of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Under the new rule, any member of the corps that misuse or
abused the fire arms allotted to him or her while on duty
would be severely dealt with according to the new directive.
To complement the efforts of the Buhari administration on economic diversification, the Minister has authorised the deployment of 5000 NSCDC men to protect mining sites. The Minister has also deployed another 5000 NSCDC to Northeast to help bring peace.

He has directed the IG of Police to fish out and prosecute those behind the Agatu crises.

To permanently arrest the clash between herdsmen and sedantary farmers, the Minister has called for a round table discussion of all stakeholders so that Government will have a comprehensive view to it and adopt a holistic approach to it.

Since the Governor of Benue said it is Foreign herdsmen that responsible, he has signed multinational agreements with neighbouring countries to prevent transborder pastoralist from moving with dangerous weapons.
There are many things the Minister has achieved which time will not permit me to highlight.

Even though I am a PDP man, I will not allow people to crucify an innocent man because I have conscience

Very true, this is why many of us unfortunately support more censorship of social media, especially if site admin are too irresponsible to moderate hate content. Moreover, why it is unfortunate that the Social Media censorship bill was killed. Funny how "Nigerians" that are loath for anyone to criticize their childish but dangerous Igbo/Youroba hate, desperately want Kanu jailed for virtually the same thing.


Dont incite people to kill one another, incite the government to act.

Correct my dear

dayowunmi:
What nonsense is he saying? Fulanis are killing innocent people you are blaming social media! Or is it because your boss is a fulani and you think criticising the fulanis is equal to criticising ur boss.

The Minister is right in his assertion. The social media is should be balance and objective in their reportage

Shameless David Mark. Is it fasical that a father is running for an election against his son. Only in Nigeria

Haven read this piece http://theunion.com.ng/opinion/dambazau-as-victim-of-gonzo-journalism/ I decided to make up my mind that the writer is only against the Minister. Therefore, I appeal to Journalists to always verify their stories before going public as the author of this article Comrade Edwin Uhara has warned.
