[img]http://2.bp..com/-DWs24KsbAbo/VcKJ5taAMJI/AAAAAAAGIn0/GHYvFg55CyE/s1600/1.jpg[/img] This morning August 5, people in Gindiri LGA were on their way to work only to discover that flood had submerged the only local bridge connecting Gindiri and Lange in Mangu local government area of Plateau state. The height of the water on the bridge was so much that vehicles and people were stranded on both sides of the river due to the rains that fell the night of August 4th. The villagers alleged that a man on bike trying to cross at the peak of the flooding at night got drown in the process. See more photos after the cut...

They alleged that it is a recurring problem every year. And that the govt should do something about it.

The local government chairman promised to take up the matter with the deputy governor of Plateau state who is from the area.

The Government should look into constructing a bridge there. Hopefully there will be such rainfall, when those crazy fulani herdsmen wants to go burn down villages and town, so it can sweep them away. 17 Likes |

May God continue to guide and guard us... "They Never cared about us, all they care about is their pockets" with all the billions of dollars stolen Nigeria would have been looking lots better if they had been channeled into the right path. |

It is well.... Petroleum Diesel Kerosene Marketing We provide cost-effective services in Nigeria's downstream Oil and Gas sector which is focused on marketing, supply and distribution of refined crude oil products like Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) known as Diesel, PMS Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) known as Fuel, Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) known as Kerosene, Cooking Gas and Lubricants. Our Service Mode of Marketing, Supply and Distribution are summarised below: Marketing: We market petroleum products such as AGO, DPK and PMS for bulk importers. Our clientele in this regard are suppliers and retailers. Supply: We provide Diesel, Kerosene, Cooking Gas and Lubricant supply services to end consumers within Lagos State. Our clientele in this area are industries, residential estates, hotels, shipping companies, banks, governmental organizations, hospitals, religious organizations, major transporters and telecoms companies. Distribution: We have range of tanker trucks to distribute purchased petroleum products to different locations. Our range of long trucks with 33, 000 liters capacity operates Lagos and other parts of the country while our range of short trucks (Peddlers) with 20, 000 – 5, 000 liters operates only in Lagos, Ogun and Ondo state. Our clientele here are retailers and suppliers. Specialized Telecoms Base Stations Diesel Supply Service We have designed specialized diesel supply concept targeted at telecoms companies to address diesel availability challenges they're often faced with. We came up with this concept after having carefully researched and scrutinized the diesel supply needs, order frequency and consumption mode of three of the major players in the telecoms industry. After our research, we were able to identify some challenges and have ever since designed our diesel supply concept to counter them. One of the challenges identified was the uncertainty of hiring well-maintained metered trucks with impressive meter reading accuracy. This is very important as most trucks are fitted with tampered and fraudulently modified meter thereby causing undue shortages to their clients without them knowing it: an ugly situation which is known for causing irregular diesel ordering frequency! Another issue of concern is the fact that most diesel suppliers accept LPO way beyond what they can handle thereby causing unnecessary delay which results in the telecoms network downtime which in effect causes untold hardship that gives birth to frustration to their subscribers. No reasonable telecoms company would tolerate such more so now that subscribers hunting by telecoms companies via number porting has become the norm. To carry out an effective telecoms diesel supply service, it's important that these issues are properly addressed even before submitting any business proposal. At Echedos Investment Limited, our business philosophy is "the provision of cost-effective services that add great value to our customers", this is our business philosophy and we meant every bit of it. Having considered the above mentioned issues and other factors, we came up with our own unique strategies to address them. We understand how important it is for telecoms base stations to maintain uptime consistency and as such, we handle every telecoms base station diesel supply order with absolute seriousness. 2 Likes |
