LG Electronics, a global leader in innovative technology and corporate social responsibility, has donated a solar-powered borehole and set up a free mobile washing machine station for residents of the Anfeyin Oja Olokuta community in Ilorin, Kwara State.
The gesture, implemented under the company’s “Life’s Good Initiative,” marks the 16th borehole LG Electronics has provided to Nigerian communities. It reaffirms the brand’s long-term commitment to ensuring access to clean water and improving living conditions for vulnerable populations.
The newly commissioned solar-powered borehole is expected to serve thousands of residents in Anfeyin Oja Olokuta, providing safe and reliable water supply year-round. In addition, the free mobile washing machine station will offer residents complimentary laundry services for the next three months—easing domestic chores and promoting hygiene.
To further support the community, LG has also deployed a service team to provide free maintenance for LG electronic gadgets for several days at the borehole site.
Speaking at the event, Paul Mba, Head of Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics West Africa, said the intervention reflects LG’s mission to improve lives and support community well-being.
“At LG Electronics, we are committed to making life better in the communities that need it most. Access to clean water is a right, not a privilege. Our Life’s Good Initiative is about more than infrastructure—it’s about dignity, health, and hope. We are honored to walk this journey with Anfeyin Oja Olokuta, and we remain steadfast in our mission to reach more communities in dire need across Nigeria,” he said.
Representing the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Abdullah Bata, described the initiative as a laudable contribution to community development.
“This is a commendable donation to our dear Anfeyin Elekoyangan community, and the people are grateful. The Governor appreciates LG Electronics for this support and looks forward to continued partnership with the company in Kwara State,” he said.
“Water is life, and any organisation that supports such initiatives values the lives of our people. We hope other private organisations will emulate LG’s example and join hands to make life good.”
Also speaking through his Permanent Secretary, Segun Ogunsola, the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, commended LG’s effort, describing it as an example of effective collaboration between the private sector and government.
“This project demonstrates what’s possible when the private sector partners with government and local leaders. Clean water and sanitation form the foundation of healthy, thriving communities. We thank LG Electronics for their vision and investment in our people,” he said.
He added that the project would transform daily life for residents by ensuring clean water access, improving hygiene, and opening new economic opportunities.
Similarly, Garuba Lukmon Agbelere, Chairman, Ilorin East Local Government, expressed appreciation for the gesture.
“LG’s generosity gives us more than water and services—it gives us pride and a sense of belonging. This partnership brings real change to our community, and we are deeply grateful for the continued support,” he stated.
With more than 60 million Nigerians still lacking access to clean water, interventions like LG’s Life’s Good Initiative are vital to achieving national and global development goals. By powering boreholes with solar energy, LG promotes sustainability even in off-grid areas, setting a new standard for corporate social responsibility in Nigeria.
Beyond addressing water scarcity, the initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being—by supporting hygiene, reducing the spread of waterborne diseases, and easing domestic burdens for vulnerable families.
Through these efforts, LG Electronics continues to demonstrate how businesses can lead with purpose—building stronger, healthier communities and advancing progress toward a more equitable world where everyone has access to a better life.
LG Electronics reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with local authorities and community leaders to expand these initiatives, striving for a future where every Nigerian community enjoys access to clean water, sanitation, and improved living standards.
The residents of the area collectively praised the donor force kind gesture.
