He also noted that the lowest daily maintenance expenditure for a prisoner in the United States is 31,000 naira, the equivalent of naira, which is also higher than that provided for N730.00 in the United States. Nigeria.
The minister, who lamented the pathetic state of the Nigerian and Nigerian economy, added that the daily maintenance of a detainee in the United States even amounted to 60,000 naira per day in some states.
