The Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts on Wednesday rejected the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ,’s loan request to the National Assembly for the Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene project under the Ministry of Water Resources.

They asked the officials of the Ministry of Water Resources led by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs Esther Didi Walson-Jack, to furnish the committee with update of loans collected so far for water projects in the ministry. The committee therefore agreed to summon the Minister of Water Resources, Adamu Suleiman, to give explanation on the loans and the state of loans collected so far.

Senator Sani Musa, while also rejecting the loan request, advised the committee to look at all the request and pick the one that was necessary. The senators appeared not to be convinced with the Permanent Secretary’s explanation to the previous loans approved for water projects.
