 FG Increases Inmate Feeding Allowance to N1,125 Per Day, Plans to Expedite Trials for 48,932 Awaiting Conviction


The Federal Government has raised the daily feeding allowance for inmates in Nigerian prisons from N750 to N1,125, amid rising inflation and increased costs of living.


The Acting Controller General of the Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS), Sylvester Ndidi Nwakuche, made this announcement during his first meeting with senior prison officers, emphasizing the need to continue pushing for further increases in the allowance to meet current needs.


Nwakuche acknowledged that rising costs, such as gas and taxes, had previously reduced the amount available for inmate meals, leaving less than N500 per day for three meals after deductions.


Monitoring teams have been dispatched to ensure the improved feeding scheme is properly implemented, and Nwakuche stressed that inmate welfare would remain a top priority, alongside efforts to reform and rehabilitate prisoners. These efforts will include expanding educational and vocational programs, as well as fostering public-private partnerships to ensure sustainability.


Additionally, Nwakuche outlined plans to fast-track the prosecution of the 48,932 awaiting trial inmates, which represent a significant portion of the prison population. He intends to work closely with the Attorney-General of the Federation, the Inspector General of Police, and other key stakeholders to expedite trials, particularly for those facing serious charges such as armed robbery and murder.


To address prison overcrowding, Nwakuche emphasized the importance of non-custodial measures and early release options, urging collaboration with state judges and attorneys-general. He also warned officers against neglecting their duties, stressing the severe consequences of escapes, riots, and attacks in prison facilities.


The NPS is focused on improving the conditions of inmates while ensuring effective management of the prison system through enhanced cooperation with relevant stakeholders.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
