The Minister of Water Resources Suleiman Adamu, on Tuesday, said Nigeria loses billions yearly for not passing the Water Resources Bill into law.

The minister who was represented by the Executive Director, National Integrated Water Resource Management Commission Magashi Bashir, said this to journalists at the commission’s office in Abuja.

Bashir, speaking on behalf of the Minister, said the non-passage of the bill causes economic setbacks for the nation.


He said, “Nigeria is losing about N6 billion to N9 billion yearly to the non-passage of the bill, which would have given legal teeth to the water sub-sector for optimal performance like other sectors.

He also called on Nigerians to “advance beyond ethnicity and ethnic politics to better regulate thewater sector,” since the country would benefit from a properly managed sector in the event of the bill’s passage.

Adamu also expressed his disappointment at the neglect the water sector is facing, despite the development and regularisation of other sectors in the country.

lol

Another fulani water bill.Dead on arrival please..A lot of people have gone against this bill

Awon werey

Lamb,we no want any Ruga in disguise..

Tell us how we are going to benefit from it and stop running in circles

SCAM!

These people should drop the act already. No one will give the FG land in disguise of water control.

FG believes she is wise. They wanted to use backdoor to snatch lands from the people. After the passage of the bill, they will say, there is water on or below the land so the land belongs to FG. Cunny man die, Cunny man bury am

We know your tricks and it won't work.

Those imaginary billions lost due to the absent of the bill is only a small portion from monthly governance wastage and corruption.

Same water bill they want to subtly rugarized? These idiots still think everyone is a zombie.

Water Bill that will see to the useless FG issuing license for borehole drilling and operation.

In Communist California they have a similar bill which criminalizes harvesting of rain water.

The communist plan is to have total control of all the resources on the planet.

This useless water bill will vest all controlling powers and rights of waterbodies, both surface and underground to the FG.


Buhari can now decided to divert all waters to refill Lake Chad just as he is pushing for diverting the Congo River to refill lake Chad.

It is a lost course already. Now, they want to use Integrated farm estates. These people's zeal to steal others lands for themselves is alarming.

The FG should forget about this water bills.

Ordinary federal roads and power supply all over the world is a disaster

Una com dey still find make waters dey under the FG... Is impossible.

Nigeria is not practising a unitary system, we dey even find ways to get a lot of things out of the exclusive list.

More to this water bill than meet the eyes.

Lalasticlala.

We are losing 50 billion annually to the continuous closure of southern borders and 24 billion to the continuous ban on Twitter , almost 200billion naira to the Fulani led insecurity plaguing Nigeria ...Let's start from there first and leave Ruga water bill alone

lol

Why should Nigerians pass a bill that may donate all Nigeria's Rivers and Waterways and the Fish inside them to Cows and Herdsmen ?


Is it so that Nigerians would need to beg to drink water

Nigerians don't need such a ridiculous bill

By the time Malami and the Cabal interpretes the Law It may even end up preventing Nigerians from freely eating Fish from their Local Stream as an alternative to beef

All the Fishermen in Nigeria may be put out of Business and only Cows would have the right to Swim in the Rivers

The North Controls Cattle and by God's Grace the South Controls Fish and Fish is the most Popular alternative to beef in Nigeria

Let us Pray the Cabal are not trying to wipe out the Fishing Industry

You mean we save?

Impossible Bill.

it is better to lose a meagre N6-N9B yearly than grant terrorists from west Africa access to riverine communities.

It is an agenda!

It is an agenda!

Agenda that will fail. You can't snatch people's land for foreigners just because they are from same ethnic stock as you. All their disguise agenda keep failing.

From ruga down to farm estates and them never still get sense say Nigerians no go gree them.

But one worrying factor is that these people have a huge zeal to succeed in this devilish plan. They keep bringing up new schemes everyday in disguise thinking people will buy it. They will keep failing by the way cos people are watching their every moves.

Across the country? Nah.... The southern leaders are more aware that Fulani is coming to displace the ruling class. They will come for their families first and Fulani don't share powers. Example of this is the north. How many emirs, politicians elder statesman are Hausa? Negligible.

That is Fulani for you.

They want to be in control of Lagos and Niger Delta coastal lines.
Mad man he should go and control lake chad

The next thing is to make sure water is not available to people.

Taxing people for digging boreholes monthly. Aboki cows with their desert land
