NIWA refutes alleged Court order violation

The National Inland Waterways Authority has debunked alleged violation of Court order restraining it from disturbing its operations.

Uba said NIWA had withdrawn from sand miners pit following the court order, pending the determination of the suit. The Sand Miners Association in the State had dragged NIWA to a Federal High Court sitting in the state, presided over by Justice B.O. Quadri, through their lawyer, Mr. Gerald Ezeuko, SAN, wherein it secured a restraining order against NIWA, in a Suit No.FHC/AWK/C/46/2020, over alleged imposition and demand of access fee and sand toll levies.He said, “As a Federal Government Agency, NIWA should show example to Nigeria by obeying the Court Order.

“We have been working peacefully with successive Managing Directors of NIWA, but since the present one entered into office it has been one illegal levy or the other even when we have been paying them millions as license/permits.
