Third review & analysis of the National Water Resources Bill July2022.pdfJeorgeWilsonKingson1
This document provides a clause-by-clause analysis and summary of revisions to Nigeria's National Water Resources Bill. Key points include:
1) The bill still promotes privatization and "public-private partnerships" for water services against public demands.
2) It gives a federal commission overly broad powers to issue water use licenses across states without regard for federalism.
3) Provisions shield the commission from accountability and exempt its employees from liability in a way that could promote arbitrary actions against citizens.
4) Overall the analysis finds that while some clauses were rearranged, the bill still infringes on human rights to water and enables inequitable control by the federal government over this crucial resource.
