Nigerian House of Representatives Proposes Inmates' Farming to Boost Nutrition and Food Security

The House of Representatives in Nigeria, led by Hon. Folorunsho Adegbesan (Rep, Ijebu North/Ijebu East/Ogun Waterside), advocates for inmates to participate in farming activities to combat malnutrition and enhance food security in correctional facilities across the country. With concerns over the quality and quantity of food served in correctional centers, the initiative aims to provide better nutrition through sustainable agricultural practices, vocational training, and integration into society post-release.

This move aligns with global efforts to improve inmates' physical and mental health through proper nutrition and skills development.
