President Muhammadu Buhari has visited Kuje prison in the federal capital territory (FCT).
Gunmen had attacked the prison with explosives on Tuesday night.
A resident had said that gunshots were heard for over 30 minutes, causing panic among residents.
The ministry of interior said about 600 inmates escaped from the correctional facility.
However, the President on Wednesday visited the prison facility to assess the level of damage.
He was surrounded by a host of security operatives, including the DSS, the Military and the Police during the brief tour.
The President inspected vehicles that were destroyed and was escorted around the facility for an assessment of damaged infrastructure.
The president, who is presently touring the scene of the attack, is expected to depart for Dakar, Senegal, later today.
