Electronics giant, LG, has commissioned a solar-powered borehole for Nariya Rigasa community, Kaduna State, extending its community water intervention and providing residents with more sustainable access to clean water.
According to a statement by the Technology company, the Kaduna project reflected an increasingly important dimension of LG Electronics’ brand philosophy in Nigeria: translating technology, sustainability and corporate responsibility into practical interventions that address everyday human needs.
Speaking at the commissioning, Mr. Paul Mba, Head of Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics Nigeria, said the company’s approach to community investment is closely connected to the role LG believes innovation should play in society.
“For us, innovation has its greatest value when people can feel its impact in their everyday lives. Our responsibility as a brand goes beyond providing great technology to consumers; it also means looking at the communities around us and asking where our capabilities can make a meaningful difference. Access to clean water is fundamental, and by combining that need with a sustainable energy solution, we are demonstrating what it means for technology and social responsibility to work together.”
Mba added that taking another initiative to Kaduna, marking the 19th Solar-powered borehole donated in different states, reinforces LG’s determination to create social value across Nigeria while building stronger relationships with the communities the brand serves. For the people of Nariya Rigasa, however, the intervention is much more immediate.
The Head of Nariya Rigasa Village, Alhaji Zakariyya Ya’u, described the project as an important contribution to the community’s wellbeing and welcomed LG’s decision to engage directly with local needs.
