 With research showing that about 52.7 million Nigerians have no access to water supply in the country, they need to ensure that their sustainable water management has been retreated. To this end, stakeholders have converged on banning the acoustic capital for the 10th National Water Conference to chart a new path as well as identify common challenges and profile strategic solutions to achieving sustainable water management. Water bill, which is a particularly sensitive bill, which most Nigerians are concerned, since it bothers on our main common resource, that is water. Water is alive, be it underground water, be it surface water, it is very important for the existence of all Nigerians. You may be aware that the Federal Command has also approved the partial commercialization of the river basin authorities. This is to ensure that we have sustainable operations and management of our infrastructure. We have huge infrastructure in the ministry under the management of the river basins. We have the dams, irrigation infrastructure, water supply schemes that require good funding to be able to keep them running and to be able to provide dividends to Nigerians. So the idea we are saying is that the water resources sector needs to be improved. And the way to improve it is to have this law in place so that everybody that has the responsibility for the improvement will know that this is my job, this is your job, this is what I am supposed to do, this is what we are supposed to do. But the fact that we don't have the regulations means that a lot of people are also being deprived the access to water that is due to them. Water is a right for everybody. No one should have more access than the other. It's a right and this right cannot be abridged by politics. It cannot be abridged by state boundaries. It cannot be abridged by religious beliefs. So as a matter of fact, we need to have these regulations in place so that we can have more players coming to invest to ensure that this access is assured for a greater majority of people.
