Critics Of Water Bill Trying To Cause Conflict - FG

The Minister of Information Lai Mohammed has said that those criticising the National Water Resource Bill are trying to cause conflict.

Lai Mohammed who spoke on Tuesday at a press conference in Abuja said that those condemning the bill were ill-informed.

Further stressing that the bill had no hidden agenda and was for the good of the nation, Mohammed said those condemning the bill either have not read it or do not understand its provisions.

“Also, we cannot rule out deliberate mischief by some of those who have been portraying the Bill as a new source of conflict.

“We are therefore using this opportunity to appeal to Nigerians to avail themselves of the provisions of the Bill to avoid being misled by those who have chosen to politicise it.

“We also want to state that the Bill is for the good of the nation, and has no hidden agenda whatsoever.

“Finally, when passed into law, the National Water Resources Bill 2020 will provide for the enhancement of the Nigeria Water Sector, in line with global best practices,” he said.
