Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, said those those criticizing the National Water Resources Bill 2020 which is currently at the National Assembly are ill-informed.
The minister stated this at a press conference jointly held with the Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, in Abuja.
Mohammed said the bill has no hidden agenda, and it was for the good of the nation.
He said, “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.”
