The Under-secretary Economy and Consular Affairs in the Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Ibukun Onemola, at the meeting conveyed the request of the Nigerian government for a prisoner exchange program with Indonesia.
He also added that Indonesia was not able to enter into any prisoner exchange agreement with Nigeria at the moment.
Indonesia on Tuesday executed eight persons for drug related offences. Four Nigerians were among those executed.
The government of Indonesia had defended the execution of the persons.
The country’s Attorney-General, Muhamad Prasetyo, said Indonesia was wagging war against horrible drug crimes that threatens the nation’s survival.
He added that while execution is not a pleasant thing, it must be done in order to save the nation from the danger of drugs.
An international prosecutor with The Hague said 33 Indonesians apparently die daily from the use of drugs.
