Months after the Federal Government increased the feeding allowance of prison inmates from N200 to N300, tension is mounting among contractors who supply the food over non-payment of about N3billion outstanding bills.
A non-governmental organization, Alliance for Good Governance and Democracy (AGGD), expressed concern over the development, urging the Federal Government to expedite action in the payment of monies owed the food contractors.
In a statement signed by its national coordinator and national secretary, Shadrack Nwokolo and Jimi Sanwo respectively, the group revealed that after a thorough investigation of the state and conditions of prisons across the nation, it discovered that contractors responsible for food supplies were being owed huge sums of money for the services they rendered to Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) in the last one year. According to the group, in January 2015, the Federal Government increased feeding allowance for prison inmates from N200 to N300 daily, excluding N150 allowance for gas per inmate a day. The group explained that the total provision for feeding each inmate is N450 per day.
