This groundbreaking initiative is set to address a critical need for a reliable source of clean water while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for the community.

The Agba-Akin community, situated in the heart of Ibadan, has long faced challenges in accessing clean and safe drinking water. Recognizing the urgent need to alleviate this issue, LG Electronics has taken the initiative to provide a sustainable solution that harnesses the power of solar energy.

A Commitment to Community Welfare

The donation of the solar-powered borehole is part of LG’s broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, focusing on sustainable development and community empowerment.

Access to clean water is a basic human right, and we are proud to support the Ibadan community with this solar-powered borehole.

Three years ago, we opened a free laundry centre in Ibadan to cater for the washing needs of the people.  The free laundry center is equipped with state-of-the-art, hygienic facilities, and is operated free of charge to end-users. This initiative demonstrates LG’s commitment to sustainability and inclusive growth in Nigeria, aligning with their philosophy of understanding customers and offering optimal solutions to improve their lives.

We hope this gesture inspires more sustainable initiatives, reaching communities in dire need of clean water and benefiting both the environment and its people.

Improving Lives with Clean Water

The solar-powered borehole will provide the Ibadan community with a consistent and safe water supply, crucial for health, hygiene, and daily living. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the burden on residents, particularly women and children, who often travel long distances to fetch water.

Community Leader, Alhaji Remi Olaibi Ojuolape, expressed deep gratitude on behalf of the residents, stating, “We are incredibly grateful to LG Electronics for this generous donation. The solar-powered borehole will make a huge difference in our daily lives, providing us with easy access to clean water.
