I said the military made us seem like a welfare state by providing things that private entities should have provided, if provision of potable water falls under social amenities leave it for the government to do, if it does not, then you need licensing and regulations to do that.

litaninja:
Which is why they provide QUALITY and RELIABLE public water supply.
So, does nigeria provide these

litaninja:
You want to wait for the government that hasn't provided the water for decades??
Why would you need licencing and regulations for what you're already paying taxes for

Proudlyngwa:

You are paying tax for the government to provide the water for you.
If you want to provide it by yourself, you need a license to prove you can do it and regulations to prove you are doing the right thing.

And how many household has been provided with water by the government, despite the revenue they have been generating. Isn't that suppose to be in the target of a state that is aiming for mega city.
BTW, water is basic and essential that you can't deny man, and no pro-people government will deny it's people of that.

Let's stop this idea of support mediocre at this age and time, countries that are not resourceful as us are getting it right.

Proudlyngwa:

That government has not provided it does not mean we should resort to illegality. At the end of the day we and the useless government are one, there is a procedure to get quality water, without licensing any body will drill anything and pass it as water, why do you think infections are high this days. Because anyone can puncture the ground and get water, as a visitor you will go to his house and drink whatever you are given.
But when you are licensed to operate, the fear of losing your license will keep you in check.

make9jagr8:


You might have get things mix-up. License to operate will have be for the drilling company, while what they are after is license for borehole dug, this in essence show that it is basically for revenue generation and looking after the people welfare is just and excuse tor the intention.

Is there any blue print in the medium or long term to have clean water accessible to every home, or the licensing is the bus/stop. Maybe you need to see how people without access to borehole get their water ( from canal, lake and mallam selling water) and compare with borehole which is not cheap in the first place before basing the premises of the discussion on using the license to regulate the distribution of contaminated water.

Lagos State government has said by the first quarter of next year, it would begin to issue licences and permits before any borehole is drilled for water in any part of the state.

Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission, Mrs Funke Femi Adepoju, while addressing stakeholders at a meeting, explained that this move was to safeguard residents of the metropolis.

The meeting was attended by members of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA), Financial Institutions, Association of Table Water Producers (ATWAP) and Association of Water Well Drilling Rig Owners Operators among others.

According to her, the exercise, which is to be launched by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is to regulate the process of water abstraction in the state.

Mrs Adepoju affirmed that licensing was a significant process in the regulation of any industry as the commission was determined to ensure its availability and sustainability to prevent the effect on unregulated water abstraction.

“What is paramount to government is how abstraction affects us as a people not just today but the future with emphases on pollution, contamination of water bodies, saline filtration into the system, over-abstraction and unregulated abstraction,” she stated.

While assuring that only registered companies captured in data will be issued a 2-year renewable license with unique and personalized number, the Executive Secretary explained that the commission was not established for a punitive purpose, but rather to establish standard in the water extraction industry in order to ensure that the health and safety of citizens are not compromised.

According to her, the essence of the engagement was to improve the relationship between stakeholders and government by developing ways to sanitize the industry, stressing that the agency has acquired mobile water test kits which are to be used in testing samples during operation and that approval for the acquisition of a standard laboratory for water testing is on the way.
