Bauchi Govt Doesn’t Feed Prison Inmates-
NPS
The attention of the Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS), Bauchi
State Command has been drawn to a purported claim made by an APC
party stalwart in the State in a Globe FM radio programme tagged ”
Daga Kananan Hukumomi” where he erroneously listed the feeding of
prison inmates in the State as part of the achievements of Bauchi
State government under the leadership of Governor M.A.
Abubakar.
The Bauchi State Prison Command wishes to put the records
straight and state that, feeding of prison inmates nationwide is
the sole responsibility of the Federal Government which it has been
doing relentlessly through the award of contracts for the supply of
ration and gas.
While the Service wishes to acknowledge and commend the goodwill
and support it receives from the Bauchi State Government, we wish
to State unequivocally that inmates feeding is not part of the
state government’s gestures towards the prisons, hence, the claim
by the party stalwart was baseless, misleading and should be
disregarded.
