Mainstream Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Nigeria Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited, has inaugurated the newly renovated and equipped Madaki Primary School in Zungeru.
This maiden intervention project showcases the Foundation’s determination to revolutionize the socio-economic landscape of the community after the takeover of operations at the hydropower plant.
The Madaki Primary School was built in 1990 and like many public primary schools had been plagued by infrastructural decay, but Mainstream Foundation’s intervention has breathed new life into it.
At the inauguration ceremony, dignitaries including representatives of the Emir of Kagara, the Emir of Minna and the Local Government Chairman of Wushishi were present to witness the transformative work carried out on the school.
A statement issued by the Head of Corporate Communications, Olugbenga Adebola, quoted the Chairman, Board of Directors for Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited, Col Sani Bello (RTD), emphasising the importance of education in shaping the future of children.
He quoted the Chairman as stating that “times are changing, and only the educated can take part in changing the future,” Col Bello urged the stakeholders to ensure children remain in school.
The Executive Secretary of Mainstream Foundation, Mr Siraj Abdullah, reiterated the Foundation’s commitment to community development, stating; “We want to assure the Chairman and the people of the community, that this work given to us will not stop until it is achieved.”
He stated this while taking time to thank the civil project team of the Foundation, acknowledging the hard work put into making the inauguration a reality.
Mainstream Foundation’s intervention in the school extends beyond improving the infrastructure and providing furniture as the teachers have also been earmarked for training to provide holistic teaching and learning improvement.
This approach underscores the Foundation’s dedication to creating a lasting impact.
As Mainstream Foundation continues to transform the landscape of Zungeru, its focus on education, environment, health and community empowerment serves as a shining example of responsible corporate citizenship.
With projects like Madaki Primary School, the Foundation is rewriting the narrative of community development in that geographic corridor.
