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...
After several hours, the level of water on the bridge fell to
below waist level and the brave youths started ferrying bikes and
passengers on their backs at the rate of N200 per person. They alleged
that it is a recurring problem every year. And that the govt should do
something about it.
The local government chairman of
Mangu, Sarinki Lange and the Sum Phyem of
Mangu later visited the site to assess the situation. The local
government chairman promised to take up the matter with the deputy
governor of Plateau state who is from the area.

If only d government will act fast,but as usual they will never act FAST..
Gindiri is not a local government area (LGA). It is a renowned town in Mangu LGA.
Hopefully d govt wil find a permanent solution to dis problem. Its well wit their souls.
I pray and hope d govt wil find a permanet solution to dis problem so dat dis wil ot rare its ugly head again.
I went to bss gindiri several years ago and this bridge is still like this. Shame on plateau state govts. The present govt should do something about it.
