News Highlights:

  • LG Electronics commissioned solar-powered boreholes in the Nkpogu and Elekahia communities, providing a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution to clean water access.
  • The initiative aims to enhance daily living standards, mitigate waterborne diseases, and support community development, aligning with LG’s corporate social responsibility.

LG Electronics has announced the commissioning of solar-powered boreholes in the Nkpogu and Elekahia communities in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, reflecting LG’s continued commitment to sustainable development, community empowerment, and improving basic living conditions for underserved populations.

Digital TimesNG reports that the newly installed boreholes are powered by solar energy, ensuring a reliable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective water supply. The solar-powered system eliminates dependence on diesel generators and Nigeria’s often unstable power grid, allowing the boreholes to operate consistently with minimal maintenance costs.

This innovative project supports LG’s mission to create a better life through technology while minimizing environmental impact.

“LG Electronics is honoured to support the Nkpogu and Elekahia communities with a solution that addresses a fundamental need – access to clean water. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and enhancing the quality of life in the communities we serve,” said Hari Elluru, Head of Corporate Marketing, at LG Electronics Nigeria.

“We hope that this project will significantly improve daily living standards, reduce the risk of waterborne diseases, and provide these communities with a reliable source of clean water.”

Chieftains, local community leaders and members of both communities including the school authorities were also present at the ceremony, acknowledging LG’s efforts in supporting community development in Port Harcourt.

In remarks made by Eze (Hon) Okechukwu Abbey, Eze Nchemini of Rebisi and Secretary, Port Harcourt City Council of traditional rulers, he expressed gratitude for LG’s tangible support in improving essential infrastructure, thus contributing to economic and social progress in the community.

The company has pledged to expand similar projects across Africa as part of its long-term commitment to environmental stewardship and community empowerment.

In his Opening Speech, Branch Manager, Fouani Nig. Ltd, Mr. Mahmoud Youssef said “Access to clean and safe drinking water is fundamental to health and well-being. Water keeps you hydrated, it flushes out toxins, sends nutrition around your body, and aids in digestion. By using solar energy, this project will remain efficient and cost-effective over time, ensuring that Nkpogu has a reliable water source for many years to come.”

He emphasized the importance of community involvement in maintaining the system, stating that local residents would be trained to manage and oversee the operations. “Together, we can create a sustainable future where every household has access to this vital resource,” he concluded, inspiring hope among the attendees.
