The House of Representatives is to reconsider the Water Resources Bill viewed in certain quarters as an attempt to reintroduce the rejected RUGA policy.

The Speaker, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA, who dropped the hint, insisted that the decision was in the best interest of the country. 

Recalling how the lower legislative chamber was forced to retrace itself regarding the expeditious passage of the Infectious Diseases Bill, GBAJABIAMILA argued that it was better to err on the side of caution.

He, therefore, directed Chairman of the House Committee on Rules and Business, ABUBAKAR FULATA, to review it for fresh deliberation.

The resolution followed a motion by MZONDU BENJAMIN BEM WHO pointed out that the proposed piece of legislation, which scaled third reading in the eighth assembly, should be subjected to fresh deliberation since the salient provisions of the bill will impact on the well-being of Nigerians.
