The Minister of Water Resources, Alhaji Suleiman Adamu, has disclosed that the immediate past administration left 116 ongoing and abandoned irrigation and water projects.

Adamu also disclosed that the past administration left liabilities of N89 billion.

Speaking with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, on Sunday, the Minister said: “In the ministry itself, when we came in, we inherited 116 ongoing and abandoned projects and we had a liability of N89 billion that is what we had inherited.

“That was a serious problem, 38 done irrigation projects and over 40 water supply projects. Obviously, in four years there is no way we can finish them.

“Some projects have been started as way back in 1987. Some projects were abandoned in 2000 and we have only been able to revive them.

“When this administration came into office and from opinions that we got from stakeholders in the water sector, it is a sector that has been in crisis.

“Recent survey indicated that according to the indices or parameter of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), we have attained 69 per cent coverage in terms of water supply.”

Adamu described the figure as dismal because over 50 million of Nigerian population under the MDGs were still not covered and the target for MDGs was 75 per cent “we only achieved 69 per cent’’.

“If we applied those indices to the parameter set by new Sustainable Development Goals we are actually nowhere, the statistics is so dismal.

“One of the diagnostic reports we got last year indicated that in 1992, 30 per cent Nigerian population enjoyed pipe borehole water but it declined to seven per cent in 2015.

“This was what led us to series of discussions, retreats and consultations leading to the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari declaring the state of emergency on water and sanitation.”

Minister Ada-Amu, bulhari has borrowed $11 in 3 years with nothing to show.

bulhari always use farming as excuse whenever you ask him to show proof of his leadership But my question after watching him present budget is this, why is everything still revolving around Oil?? all I kept on hearing is oil this oil that. So, I thought you said you are diversifying the economy why then are we still talking about oil?

“In the ministry itself, when we came
in, we inherited 116 ongoing and
abandoned projects and we had a liability
of N89 billion that is what we had
inherited

ones this projects are completed same set of gullible thieves will come and b ranting rubbish we initiated this projects

b

Imagine 116 state abandoned projects and a debt of N89 billion while the likes Alison madueke, patience Jonathan and a host of others had completed their multi billion naira skyscrapers both home and abroad.
Yet pigs will be telling us about who initiated projects. Is it about initiation? What happened to the execution? Is there any sane human being that can't initiate?
Anyway, thank God they were booted out by Nigerians and moving to the next level.

You expect him to fully diversify a 100 trillion naira economy in 40 months because he's Jesus Christ the miracle worker?

These people will die because of GEJ
