The sum of
N130 has been budgeted for the feeding of each of the inmates in prisons across
the country, the Senate heard on Tuesday.
The
revelation was made when Minister of Interior, Retired General Abdulrahaman
Dambazzau appeared before members of the Senate Committee on Interior for
budget defence.
Chairman of
the Committee, Senator Bayero Usman Nafada said the budgetary allocations for
the feeding of the inmates were too small.
“N200 was
budgeted for the feeding of each of the inmates in our prisons. And if you
remove taxes and contractors profit, only N130 will remain, “he said.
In his
response, Dambazzau said the ministry will look into it.
