The daily meal stipend for prisoners in Nigerian prisons has been increased from N450 to N1000 by the Nigerian Senate.
It came after officials from the Nigerian Correctional Service visited the Senate on Wednesday to defend the agency’s budget for 2022.
The approval was granted by the Interior Committee, which stated that it was required due to the country’s economic circumstances.
The NCS had suggested a N750 increase in the daily feeding allowance, but the panel deemed it insufficient and increased it to N1,000, in line with current economic realities.
The committee promised to increase the cost of inmate meals from N450 to N1000 per day.
Senator Betty Apiafi, a member of the committee, moved the motion for the increase, which was unanimously supported by all members of the panel.
She claimed the money was insufficient to feed the detainees.
Apiafi said, “You are dealing with adults. How can they survive with that amount? When you send convicts to prisons, instead of reforming them, they become more hardened because of they way they are treated, particularly food.”
The Chairman informed the committee that proper provisions would be made for the detainees’ meals.
