NCoS Denies Claims of Poor Inmate Feeding, Calls Report ‘False and Misleading’

The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS), a federal institution tasked with maintaining and improving the welfare of inmates in accordance with the Nigerian Constitution and laws, has received criticism from a publication and its public relations officer, Umar Abubakar. This publication, last updated on September 1st, 2024, claims that inmates in NCoS facilities are underfed, which challenges the service’s uphold of the.OlugbodeMichael story — its lack of transparency and ethics.

The controversy raises questions about whether such criticism is indeed based on the service’s actual operations. NCoS, established in 1998, has adhered to strict guidelines, including a standardized menu prepared by its menu planning authority, with routines monitoring and feeding access through the ration committee. Furthermore, the service regularly reviews its menu plans to ensure they align with evolving health standards and budgetary constraints. These institutions have been attended with consideration for the welfare of inmates, a matter of which the service has indisputable policy backing.

Concurrently, the service has implemented cost-of-living adjustments to better support an increasingly costly economic environment, reflecting the Nigerian government’s commitment to providing adequate and nutritious meals for its prison population. The service’s statement attracts significant attention from the public and media outlets, with numerous critics accusing it of misrepresentation, without credible evidence of its claims.

A more recent incident highlights the service’s inability to handle the issue of underfeeding adequately. An independent feeding oversight body, The Ministry of Interior, and other jurisdictions have consistently reported conditions that go against the service’s statements and public contracts with inmates. The service itself provides a brief response, orchestrating a fight against misleading portrayals without addressing underlying corruption, eroding public trust in its operations.

The case reinforces the importance of transparency, integrity, and accountability within NCoS, calls on public scrutiny, and calls for a more collaborative approach in governance. Public servants are encouraged to stay informed, adhere to policies, and avoid sensationalism that could undermine the service’s reputation.
