The Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, has asked Nigerians to stop expecting the federal government to provide water for their respective homes.He said,"Nigerians need to understand that it is not the responsibility of the federal government to provide water to people in their houses. It is the responsibility of the state governments to do that, and local governments going down further. That is why this ministry does not have a water board.
"The only federal water board that we have is the one that is managed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration. And that, of course, is for the Federal Capital Territory. So it’s not under the municipal taxes.” The minister said the federal government was only expected to construct dams which the various states could use for the needs of their citizens.
He added,"So, every time people ask me that there is no water in their towns. I tell them, go and ask your states. In the last four decades or so, the federal government has built over 400 dams, I think. We just launched the compendium on dams last year across the country. There are over 500 dams that have been captured.
"Almost 400 of them were built by the federal government and that’s the role that we play; we provide bulk water; we go and build the dams. And it is for the states to now tap into that water, treat it and distribute. That’s the way it is supposed to be.”

Morris_Monye Yet you collect water utility bills?
You are responsible for trying to sneak in Ruga through water resources bill abi?
Morris_Monye Na wetin fit us for this country.
Failed government and promises. No direction of purpose. Ministry of water my foot 🦶
Buhari ministers are called to Eat, not to Serve.
So all the money sent to water cooperation is for staff salary what has no responsibility to provide water..sir you need to be probe.
😂😂😂😂 These people just open their mouths and say whatever flows 😀😀. Okay o. Let's rely on rain water then.
Nobody is expecting anything positive from the current mess.
I learned how to fetch well water in a friend's house when I was in Jss 2 , that was 1999 . I grew up in NEPA Police band area in Akure . There was not an estate or environment of the rich but virtually every home has pipe bone water running from water cooperation .
but responsible for providing fulani cows water
What are you responsible for?
Just like your oga,you can never be responsible for anything meaningful.🤡
Truth be told, It is not your responsibility. The manner you speak it says volumes anyways.
Muhammed buhari government is not responsible for 24hours water supply to Nigerians. This is the type of thing will be hearing from a country ruling by group of illiterates.
Yet several cash are been pumped into the water corporation. This shows the money are ready to be looted.
He's always not responsible for anything
What are you responsible for- see narrow definition of JD
Then why provide water bill and expect the citizens to pay?
Tell us what you are responsible for?
Useless govt. Because its difficult to do you have left it for ineffective local govts who don't have the funding and expertise to implement a water policy.
He's not wrong. Nigerians let the State and local government off the hook too much. The Federal Government can only do so much. subnationalworks
This promised has been fulfiled, it's not MBuhari govt to provide water to home , this from top to bottom as it was said by Buhari during 2015 campaigns.
So what are u MINISTER of? Women Affairs?🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Straight up!!
As Minister of Water Resources, where else does he supply water or he is just a novice of his responsibility?😃😃😃
Wow ,what exactly is going on in this country
We are not responsible for this nuisance
what is his ministry for?
But u are responsible for ur salary, revenue, allocation and more 😏
Mr minister, you said about 400 dams were built by FG in the last 4 decades....can you give more details? Bcos this would amount to minimum of 10 newly built dams in each state including FCT. Its an open book question sir.
Shameless lots
2023 Nigeria youth I will really know if we have power over our leaders If we no cooperate another 4 years of suffering and me I will not send money from Europe to anyone asking me to help them because our vote is for change not for suffering! Follow me if you support my point
Stupidity is when you know your responsibility you run away from it! and madness is when you think your opinion is the only key words! nonsense people in power
That why you are a failure.
Foolish lots.
Clueless APC
Samuel4Olufemi Even when you provide, it is paid for. So, business transaction is no aid. The power you claim to be providing even though Nigerians are paying for it, where is it?
Samuel4Olufemi You are responsible to provide blood? From which holes did they pluck these Buhari Ministers🤯
Neither are you responsible for your boss' incompetence... A mannequin would have had more of an impact.
What are you responsible for then, minister of waters Resources …?
So what are the functions of your ministry
nothing wey person no go hear from this apc government
Yes oh. The budget for your ministry is just for your pockets. We understand
Homeleopard The pain is almost over
Morris_Monye Ah!!! You don't mean it
You're not responsible for anything at all. Bunch of irresponsible things.
Ok then. So it’s Monye that is responsible for providing water to Nigerians abi?
A lot of things are bad in this country that’s why there’s banditry
“Adamu” no surprise.
Why then is Water Corporation is still in existence?
...are part of the responsibilities of govt. Why do people pay tax? In addition, infrastructure, road maintenance are part of your responsibilities. NOT wearing starched Babariga all over the place and big shotting yourself. Get to work, mister Minister. Serve the people!
This man don high drugs. By now he suppose don drop resignation but Nigeria them no dey resign. In a sane clan e suppose dey jail for failing his assignment.
😂😂😂😂zoooo
I cant believe that this kind of gibberish will come out of the mouth of a Minister in govt. I beg your pardon, who should? Well good. If you dont know what your responsibilities are, we should tell you. Basic amenities, constant electricity, water, housing, afforadable food...
Who be this irresponsible man? Are they every responsible for anything that corruption?
Nature is responsible for rainfall. Dan banza
This are the kind of persons taking decisions and ruling us So sad
Nigeria is a signatory to a U.N convention to make water available for her citizens. Stop sounding like one on hard drugs na
As if the ones you're responsible for have been done!
These people are far heartless than the devil 😈, you're only responsible for unleashing hardship but not the good dividends, God will judge you all accordingly, thieves
Agreed. But did you provide what is responsible for you
Where is the lie? even Sahara know this, but for reason best known to them, will never accept this as truth.
Shengbo oloriburuku minister
Every state governors in their respective states are responsible for providing to the homes of their CITIZENRY and not the federal government. People are just being hypocritical and mischievous. They should rather, challenge their respective state governors.
You are not résponsible for anything.
Wow this is shockingly mind blowing🤯😳 how did this daft guy get into position of power? Bunch of wasters. These clowns in position of power are just like the citizens who vote them in. They'll complain and then go out and repeat the same process. Get your PVC and vote 🗳 right.
Can't we protest for stable electricity since it will solve 50% of our problems individually and as a country? MBuhari femigbaja DrAhmadLawan
Failure

Lol,what an utterance?
Mumu
Did he understand what he was saying? What an incompetent minister
Has this govt of MBuhari provided any good thing from inception? It's been hardship, pains, discomfort, insecurity, joblessness, carnage that this govt unleashed on Nigerians 🇳🇬. We are seriously counting days. History will NOT forget your boss MBuhari in a hurry. .
Are you guys ready to pay ASUU their money........ what are you guys even ready to do ................we know cattles and 🐄 are all fine .... what of human being
Then who is responsible?. This is the only govt that neglects its responsibilities and blames others for its failures.
Imagine what a minister is saying!!
Tell me one of ur responsibility as a minister...I just want to know..every citizens are d Govt of their various homes & yet we pay tax
When the head is rotten why won't the Body Stink? A man that could not multiply common Cows how could he possibly develop Nig? And Nigns knew all this and still went ahead to make president. Everybody must collect..
All the Adamus In bubu cabinet are animals. Imagine the response to critical issues. Education too zero response
The irresponsibility of the highest order.
Wat have u guys ever provided
I'm so tired of this government 😒
APC... From top to bottom. APC... Populated with Dullards from top to bottom
on Buhari's Minister, did the WORN (one) NIZOORIANAS (Nigerianas) read this? The Fulani JANJAWEED are hopelessly piloting their ZOO REPUBLIC & ANIMALS to destruction DISMANTLENIGERIANOWANDSAVELIVES. BIAFRANATIONNOW. FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow. BIAFRAREFERENDUMNow
They are building Town Halls and religious places. A town without water gets a town hall from Fed. Min. Of Water Resources, isn't this so wrong for heaven's sake?
Only for Cattle 🐄
Awkward and clueless people gathered in one government.
All,those who are saying and supporting one Nigeria.. Let the earth swallow all of them
What then is the government responsible for? These guys are not serious
Abi!
What's the role of your ministry please?
Then he obviously does not understand his role in the capacity he is occupying he should just resign for who knows the job
Adamu = mumu… e.g you be Adamu o = you be mumu oo
Just wait for they election campaign you will hear things like they will be good roads, there will be water, transportation they will be good schools after they win election they will Build BRT BUS STOPS that will look better than schools
Then the ministry should be scrapped and expunged from the annals of this confused corntree.. What a useless ministry!
How they are , but he enjoyed British bole hole Water when he was a kid ..when I was a kid at 1989 there is bole hole water running wherever
How Buhari take gather these people take form cabinet will always remain a mystery to me.
No surprises here after all, even things you're constitutionally responsible to provide like security, education and an enabling environment for development, you've failed woefully. There's scarcity of petroleum products, no healthcare, no employment....
You should not be surprised to hear all this kind of thing is because 'when a square peg is put in a round hole'
You are right, the Republic of Benin is the nation responsible for providing water available in Nigerian homes
It's 'Mai Ruwa's' responsibility. I personally think Water Vendors are doing better than the whole of your Water Resources Ministry put together. I thought ministry has been expunged from our records bcos you guys don't exist to us. How did mumu like this got into power!
This is pure Fulani man talking.
Then there is no need for the ministry of water resources except of course to.............money (fill in the blank).
Then what exactly is the duty of your ministry?, what are you using the money allocated to your ministry for, who exactly are you providing water for?.
Dis won don crazy
Where on earth did Buhari see this dead brain ministers…… because people outsource water you think it’s not ur responsibility? I grew up in osun state and I grew up having water supply from Ede dam very clean and well treated but since democracy started no more water
Their responsibility is to get loans and share to themselves.
Imagine a comment from a minister who travels to developed countries very often. Does he know his responsibilities? Mad people all over.
But u ddnt tell d senators during screening !!!.... why naa
You don't know what social amenities mean, go read social studies and know why water projects are carried out, ewu
Na wah oh... What is your duty to Nigeria then? Because last I remember, I pay for my water (borehole), I pay for my security (community security) I also pay for power that I don't get to use...and in all of these, Mr Minister, I pay my taxes. And you say you don't own me?
That's d responsibility of the state
Arewa products....sai baba 😂😂😂😂
He does not know his job?
Let's ask this thief if he doesn't get water allowance as a minister?
Hmmmmm.......what a country
The water transmission company of Nigeria is in charge of moving the water after treatment. Then, d water distribution companies provide it to Nigerian homes.
Then who is responsible, but you are responsible for collecting tax from the Nigeria homes. You are just shielding your responsibilities to the masses as govt.
All he said was, hold your state and local governments responsible. He could have said it better. Maybe a policy that mandates states and LGs to allocate a certain percentage of their revenue on water and it's distribution.
These Hausa Fulani appointees with their audacity for Failure. Dragging the nation backwards.
🤣
Foolish talk Someone should remind him their duty to their constituents
Clueless people sitting at a position they know nothing about... it's all about salary gratuity and money sharing
What? Are you kidding the people? WHO ELSE
Quota system and it's consequences.. Condom would have taken care of this from the onset.. REGRETS
Imagine what we face with these fools in Buhari APC government.
What about electricity, you are a mumu man
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE PROVIDING & DELIVERING WATER SIR? (NIGERIAN APC PDP GOVERNMENT) A FALL STATE STATEMENT FROM GOVERNMENT MINISTER PROOF US WRONG SIR RELEASE MAZINNAMDIKANU UNCONDITIONALLY RELEASE MAZINNAMDIKANU UNCONDITIONALLY RELEASE MNKNOW
You're only responsible to providing water to cows
Almagiri Republic of Nigeria. All man for himself, GDP for Dangote. Who be mumu?
💯 but there is a Ministry or Department of Water Resources and there is a Budget for Providing....Shame
How can a fulani man provide water for Nigerians to use at home while the sleep with their cows in the bush?
Ogun lo mapae Adamu
Which Adamu be this one again? Ministers that sleep all year round only to come out to yarn okpata
Easy problem to be fixed
Why during your campaign you never tell people this rubbish?
One chance minister
Abi! Tell them ooo. If you give them water, who go patronize your water company? But it's unfortunate that some are still referring to you as Minister not (MERUWA) Water seller. Oga Meruwa Weldon sir.
😂😂😂
faiIed britìsh jihadíst shíthoIe called nigerià
Adamu joor! madamilamu 😀
He is saying the truth as almost every compound have their own borehole.
Whose responsibility? What does your ministry provide for Nigerians?
Shameless lot
Bunch of failures with excuses occupying the sit of power.
I see no reason why this man should minister
Who is, who has that as his task?
And u're tried your utmost in providing affordable houses, security, healthcare, education, power supply, price stability, infrastructure, employment, & social welfare. We'll live to remember. Thank u.
A smart and responsible federal minister of water resources will show concern & leadership when he finds that water is not available for citizens, after all, the entire country is federal domain. Water supply should be a federal concern whether it is state responsibility or not!
Animals so those countries you guys fly to, the water you see flowing in their home that you use over their falls from heaven abi? Criminals!!
Then where Social amenities?
He's right but he said it without empathy. Water is on residual list in the constitution. Responsiblity of the state govt.
Frankly speaking XEP is a great opportunity that should be maximized ElectraProtocol XEP🧿
🤣🤣
Of course...you're responsible to looting and doing it without shame
Then resign
Crass failure
Thank God you know.
What do you expect from Adamu?,if not for Britain with their useless Nigeria you suppose dey for gate or shoe maker
Av u been responsible for anything if at all
Mad people everywhere animals in human form.
The question still remain, who's job is it ?
No you're not.... what is your mandate then?
What a ridiculous statement from a quota system minister
😂🤣🤣🤣
Yes we know, you are IRRESPONSIBLE! NEXT!
It seems as if everyday this madness of unaccountability becomes more intense. President denies everything even election promises, VP says his hands are tied, ministers blame cabal, military claims it is order from above. Rudderless administration.
Eyyah so sad
Then what are you providing to Nigerian as ministry of water resource or doing nothing
Imagine this. Anyway, I'm not surprised because everything this government have promised Nigerians, they have blatantly denied or failed to do. Is water not a responsibility of government?
God forbid
But you can collect taxes. enikure
Before elections = we're responsible for everything, after elections = we're responsible for nothing. Sorry for Nigerians
But this people use water to campaign oooo
See those who are squandered our tax nonsense
Lol. Irresponsible government
True! The excessive failure & irresponsibility of Govt gave rise to citizens switching to having their personal water generating systems (boreholes).
big shame on you
What a pity..
When you put an illiterate from a quota system region, this is what you get. Lazy fools that have no vision of entering public offices other than to steal, kill and destroy.
I agree with u, how can a good government provide water to ZOMBIE'S Homes. U are right my brother. Carry go.
😂😂😂 Nigerians ntoooooor
What of light? Who ask you for water?
Is this a constitutional enactment or your personal opinion Mr minstrel ?
Then what's your responsibility.
The one that is your responsibility what have done about it? If you have show us or tell us
Are you sure he is minister?
Statements like this make Nigerians feel they should evade or not pay taxes! So that they will use the money to provide water for themselves.
If govt. Are not responsible, he should tell the Nigerians whose responsibility
May the Allah rewarded you and your generations accordingly for that idiotic statements. I couldn't care less about lack progress in Nigeria when you've people like this as a minister
Honestly it is not his primary duty to do that. But that doesn't mean that his office cannot formulate policies that will make it easier for this to be achieved. Rather, they are working hard on how to hijack all our water fronts in the south through a water resources bill.
His comment is short of blaming 16years of PDP. It seems like government of excuses. Hahahahahah. He is right. Everybody is right.
When herdsmen occupied every sensitive post in the country such nation won't stop driving backward.
Chaiii we don suffer for this country...😆😆😆😆.... No be una fault ooo... Nah because we Nigerians never ready to put fire for that una Aso rock.
The Minister has done a brilliant job of explaining why there is no need for his Ministry in the first place. Good job Minister. At least you told the honest truth, his ministry should be scrapped because the actual purview of providing Water, lies with the State and Local Govt
Afi Buhari minister Na 😂😂😂
Bad leaders everywhere
Governors
Werey minister have have nothing upstairs.. The people voted you to serve them and mumu adamu is spitting trash 🗑 Fvcking ban as a minister
Which one have you people provided
Zoo
😂😂😂
Sounds like 'our tenure is coming to an end so stop disturbing us'... Hahahahahaha . Can you say this in 2019 ?
Confusion everywhere
What are you responsible for ?
Does he know what it means for govt to provide basic amenities?
Do you go to the Stream, River or Ocean to fetch water when you travel to US, UK, Europe. You are a disgrace to the person that appointed you and the Ministry you are reoresenting.
He doesn't know because Nigerians found solutions to their problems without calling the government. It has always been like that.
Person call Nigeria zoo una dey vex as if Nigeria no worst pass zoo
But they will collect money or borrow money from IMF for providing water 😳😳😳😳😳😳
No. Why should you be? The electorate were induced with money to vote for you, they deserve nothing more.
Lol Adamu. Are y'all even responsible for anything?
You are not responsible for anything in the first place, only stealing our resources and funds meant for the people...good for absolutely nothing
When you have this kind of backward primitive ministers, tell me how Nigeria will work? Nigeria is a mistake to humanity, I swear down
We already know
See Minister wey Dem appoint dey talk rubbish from him mouth
Providing water is actually responsibility of State & Local government, primary Local government responsibility and supported by By State. But since the state governor didn't allowed local government to function well its now primary responsibility of state government.
Thieves but you want to collect water rates
These APC people sef
Shengbo oloriburuku yii?awon omo irankiran
It's unfortunate that most state governors have neglected their responsibilities. I was at Owena Dam in Ondo state. That Dam has not been used since completion, because the state government could not treat and pipe the water to residents.
Nigerian is part of MDG development goal on water, Mr minister be careful what you are saying.
That's exactly why you and your buhari is parasite that have nothing to offer to Nigerian than to waste tax payers sweat to reside in a develop country
Wow really..because ppl resent to drilling borehole in their respective homes...this govt is so clueless and recklessly dull
Since 2015 have you ever been responsible for anything at all, i mean anything?
What else will we not get when Mr Aboki dey 💺seat
What is this good for nothing government responsible for?
Make we manufacture water by ourselves na ... 🙄
The list of dumb ministers goes on.
Wow... The abroad u always fly ur stupid self to ... Who provides water for their homes?
