LG Electronics has reiterated its commitment to continue to make clean water accessible to Nigerians as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). 

The Corporate Marketing Manager of the company, Mr. Paul Mba, gave the commitment at the commissioning of a solar-powered borehole donated to the people of Ayeye community in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

He said access to clean water is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone, stating that LG Electronics is committed to leveraging its innovations to create sustainable solutions that positively impact communities. 

According to him, “The solar-powered borehole which is the eight that LG Electronics is donating across the country will not only provide clean drinking water but also reduce the burden on the residents, especially women and children, who traditionally spend hours collecting water. This initiative aligns with LG Electronics’ ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability, showcasing the company’s dedication to making a meaningful difference in the communities it serves.”

The Mogaji of the Balogun Ibikunle family, Rear Admiral Lateef Akintola (rtd), who spoke on behalf of the family and community, expressed deep appreciation for LG’s remarkable gesture, noting that the initiative not only addresses the immediate needs of the community  but also sets a powerful example of corporate social responsibility and support for sustainable development in the country. 

He said, “We are profoundly grateful for this thoughtful act by LG Electronics. While many companies operate in Oyo State, few have stepped up to make such a significant impact in our communities. LG’s commitment to providing constant access to clean water through solar energy is not just a gift; it’s a lifeline for us.”
