(AFRICAN EXAMINER) - Nigeria's Ministry of Water Resources has said that the Implementation of the nation's National Water Resources Master plan has been so poor ,26 years after it was developed, due to lack of political will and weak implementation Structure. Minister of Water Resources, Engr. Suleiman Adamu, who stated this in Enugu Thursday, noted
A water resource expert, Razak Jimoh, has said that Nigeria currently lacks dam capacity to properly arrest floods and prevent loss of produce as the current budgetary allocations to the sector are inadequate.
He said the N475.6 billion estimated for the execution of the nation’s water sector is not enough, hence the abandonment of critical projects. Jimoh made this known during a two-day capacity building workshop in Abuja.
He said: “Some of the critical projects meant for control of floods and management of water resources have been on the drawing board for years, but lacking attention due to lack of funds may spell doom for Nigeria, especially in the areas of destruction of crops and a reduction in dry season farming.
