The Senate informed that its findings have indicated that N130 is actually spent to feed each inmate per day. The Chairman, Senate Committee on Interior, Senator Usman Bayero Nafada, who made this known during a budget defence session with the Minister of Interior, Lieutenant-General Abdulrahman Danbazau, added that his committee will take up the issue with relevant authorities. According to him “N200 per inmate per day is unacceptable. If you look at it you are actually feeding each inmate with N130 per day. “When you remove Value Added Tax, contractors’ profit and other corporate services, the N200 comes to about N130 to feed one inmate in a day. “It is inhuman to feed a human being with N130 in day. What can anybody use N130 to buy? With N130, no inmate can come out of the prison better.” The lawmaker insisted that feeding of inmates is one area the committee wanted the ministry to introduce a major improvement, saying “we want the inmate to come out better than they went in.”]]>
