 The Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debt has rejected President Mohamed Buhari's loan request for water supply. Members of the panel rather asked the Ministry of Water Resources to give account of loans collected so far for water projects. The chairman of the committee, Senator Clifford Odia, said three different loans had been approved. The committee concluded that the Minister of Water Resources would be summoned to appear to give an explanation on the loans and state of loans collected so far. The development happened 24 hours after the Ministry of Health appeared before the committee to seek approval for $200 million for the procurement of mosquito nets and malaria medicines.
