Lebee4: pls, where do you work?
how much will it cost the federation to do aa these things.
low budgetry allocations but she still able to cut corners from the little allocation. we pay for water in d 80s n early 90s, where do those money came from? I can never support the FG in anything against our wefare.

I do not support the FG. I should not have posted. I am not Nigerian. If I may, I will say this. I agree that access to potable water is important. In fact, human survival depends on it. My city recently built a new water treatment plant. The plant was built to accommodate less than 300,000 people. The cost to build the plant was in the millions of US dollars. The cost of maintenance runs us hundred of thousands of dollars a year. Now, multiply that number times the number of people in Nigeria.

I do believe it is the job of any government to make sure that it's citizens have potable water. As I stated, survival depends on it. I know however, from the numbers I quoted above, that it is not an inexpensive endeavor. This type of project would cost billions. Given Nigeria's population, who knows how much it would cost. The number of dollars it would take to maintain such facilities is astronomical. Not to mention the cost of building in the first place.

I am not defending this woman, by any means. I'm simply stating a fact. Where will this money come from, if not from the people? We pay taxes here to pay for such. Those who can not pay do receive subsidies from the government. However, our national debt numbers in the trillions. Granted, that number has more to do with wasted spending than legitimate spending, but I hope you see my point. This is a project that needs to happen. Everyone knows this is a necessary project, and certainly are aware that the government should do something about it. This is established. The discussion now should be, how can we accomplish this. If you feel she does not know what she is talking about, by all means, tell her how to do her job. Make sure, however, you can back it up with a plausible, feasible plan of action.

I love that song
