LG Electronics Donates Solar-powered Borehole To Lagos Community

LG Electronics has commissioned a solar-powered treated borehole and installed streetlights in the Oriba community of the Epe Local Government Area in Lagos State.

Speaking at the occasion, the managing director of LG Electronics Nigeria, represented by the marketing manager, Paul Mba, disclosed that the notion behind the project is to give back to communities where access to potable drinking water is a barrier.

“At LG, we believe in empowering communities through sustainable development. Our donation of solar-powered boreholes and streetlights to the Oriba Community is a testament to our commitment to improving people’s lives. We are confident that these contributions will provide immediate benefits and foster long-term growth and development in Oriba.”

In his response, one of the Oriba Community Leaders, Aare Adesegun Hassan expressed deep gratitude on behalf of the residents: “We are immensely grateful to LG Electronics for this generous donation. The street lights will improve safety and security, and the borehole will ensure access to clean water for our people. These contributions will have a lasting impact on our community, and we thank LG for their support and commitment to our welfare.”

Also, patron of the Oriba Youth Movement, Chief S.B. Olukolu, who was also at the commissioning of the project said, “Today is a day of joy and celebration for all of us in Oriba. These initiatives are not just about infrastructure; they symbolise progress, development, and a brighter future for our community. Water is the essence of life. With this new borehole, our community will have access to clean and safe drinking water. This will not only improve our residents’ health and well-being, but it will also ease the burden of sourcing water from distant places, especially for our women and children.’’
