By Christiana Babayo.
Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited, the operators of the Kainji, Jebba, and Zungeru hydropower plants in Niger State has swiftly repaired the Sabon Pegi Bridge within 24 hours after its collapse due to heavy rainfall on Friday.
The flash floods caused the collapse of the Sabon Pegi Bridge, a vital link between the southwestern and northwestern regions of Nigeria.
It could be recalled that the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) had previously issued warnings of heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding over the weekend, which were accompanied by thunderstorms.
The incident that was reported on Friday morning led to confusion among the local communities, however, Mainstream Energy Solutions was promptly contacted, and the Chairman of the Board immediately approved the company’s intervention to repair the bridge.
Abdullahi, a local youth who was moved by the gesture expressed gratitude, saying, “We pray for Mainstream always because there are very few companies in Nigeria that can respond so quickly to such a problem. They are a highly responsible company.”
Also, Siraj Abdullahi an Executive Director in the Company said
“This is what Mainstream is about. We have brought relief and restored the economic artery of the Borgu Land, the Southern Sokoto and Kebbi States”.
