The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, on Monday cautioned against the Water Resources Bill.
The right group issued the warning while condemning the current National Assembly for their penchant in introducing “obnoxious, draconian and imperialistic anti-people’s legislation, with emphasis on the reintroduction of the Bill On Natural Resources aimed at stripping Southern Littoral states of their control of Water Resources.”
“Just like the Companies and Allied Maters Act, 2020 , an otherwise necessary and important legislation that has become divisive, the National Water Resources bill has also strayed into our delicate fault-lines and lost in the brackish waters of Nigeria’s recurrent political criticisms.
