FG Shouldn’t Be Spending Billions On Prisoners, Should Emulate China –Reno Omokri
By Daniel Dafe
Former Presidential Aide, Reno Omokri, has said that the Federal Government should not be spending money on prisons and prisoners.
This was contained in a post on X on Friday.
According to him, the federal government “should be making money from prisons.”
Adding: “Prisoners should work on farms to grow their own food and even excess produce that should be sold to the public.”
He continued: “Let us do what China does, and instead of paying for labourers to build roads, prisoners, including big men and powerful politicians who go to prisons, should build roads and other infrastructure for free. Their payment is their food and board.”

He quizzed: “How can the government be spending billions to feed and accommodate prisoners while law abiding Nigerians are looking for food and housing?”
“That is a provocation to the average honest Nigerian to commit crimes so he can go to prison and get free meals and accommodation!,” he concluded.
