By A Socio-cultural group, Tiv Youth Organisation (TYO), has urged the National Assembly to be guided by the national interest in its debate on the National Water Resource Bill before it.
Its President, Timothy Hembaor, made the call in Enugu, while briefing newsmen at the end of a meeting of Indigenous Ethnic Youth Leaders of Nigeria.
Hembaor also called on the political class, especially State Governors, to lend their voices to the ongoing debate on the Bill, which had been reintroduced in the House of Representatives.
He said it is regrettable that the Governors who would be most affected by the passage of the Bill, are silent except Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.
Hembaor reiterated the fact that the proposed Bill was thrown out by the 8th National Assembly after due consideration of the challenges it would stoke in the polity.
