Govt Plans Law To Control Water Use by landis(m): 11:36am On Oct 01, 2008
This country is clearly RUN by FOOLS: no respect, no apologies.

We dont even have water yet they want to control use of water!

How can you control what you dont have?

PROVIDING water for commercial and private use is no longer going to be business as usual. The Federal Government has initiated moves to ensure that no one provides water for commercial or private use without an operating licence.

It has already sent a bill for an Act to establish the Nigeria Integrated Water Resources Management Commission charged with the responsibility for regulation and management of water in the country.

In addition to creating a regulatory environment for the allocation, supply and distribution of water resources for all uses, the commission will promote equitable, sustainable and efficient best practices in water matters.

Under the new law no person can operate a public water resource service in the country except he is a citizen of Nigeria or registered as a body corporate under the companies and Allied Matters Act.

The provider must also be licensed as a water resource service developer or operator while an authorised developer or operator of water resource infrastructure, other than a licensee, may provide and maintain only such facilities and services as are required to exploit water for its own external use on its premises and not beyond.

Relax, it is just a measure implemented so that anyone who distributes polluted water can be traced.
