My regrets as Water Resources Minister, by Adamu | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⚠️
With barely five months to the end of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, the Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, has scored himself high but expressed regrets about his inability to execute some major projects and programmes that would have improved the well-being of Nigerians.
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian in Abuja, the minister listed the successful completion and construction of about 6, 700 water supply schemes nationwide as another achievement of the administration in the sector. He, however, regretted that all efforts by the President to get international support for Lake Chad Inter-Basin Water Transfer failed despite its importance.
On the domestic front, Adamu attributed the factors that prevented the administration from completing some of the projects that would have consolidated the government’s diversification drive to bureaucratic bottlenecks, lack of funds, time, the disruptive effects of COVID-19, amongst others.
