LG Electronics Brings Clean Water and Free Mobile Laundry to Ilorin with Solar-Powered Borehole

...‘Life’s Good Initiative’ Delivers Sustainable Water, Hygiene, and Hope to Anfeyin Olokuta Community in Kwara State

LG Electronics, a global leader in consumer technology and corporate social responsibility, has expanded its community development efforts with the commissioning of a solar-powered borehole and free mobile laundry station for residents of Anfeyin Oja Olokuta in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The project, executed under the company’s Life’s Good Initiative, represents LG’s 16th borehole donation across Nigeria—furthering its long-term commitment to clean water access, improved hygiene, and sustainable living.

The newly installed solar-powered facility will provide residents with consistent, year-round access to safe drinking water, while the free mobile laundry service—available for three months—aims to promote hygiene and ease household burdens for families. In addition, LG dispatched a service team to provide complimentary maintenance for LG appliances within the community, underscoring a holistic approach to community well-being.

“Access to clean water is a right, not a privilege,” said Mr. Paul Mba, Head of Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics Nigeria. “Our Life’s Good Initiative is about dignity, health, and hope. We’re proud to stand with Anfeyin Olokuta in building a healthier future.”

Representing the Executive Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Hon. Abdullah Bata, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, lauded LG’s intervention.

“This is in no small measure a laudable donation to our dear community, Anfeyin Elekoyangan, and the people are grateful for this. The Governor appreciates LG Electronics for this support and hopes to see more of this partnership and support to LG’s business in Kwara State,” he said.

“Water is life, and any organisation that supports initiatives like this surely places the life of the people on a high pedestal. The people will, in turn, show appreciation for this kind gesture. We hope other private organisations will also support LG Electronics to make life good!” he added.

Also commending the initiative, Dr. Segun Ogunsola, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, speaking on behalf of the Honourable Commissioner, praised the project’s impact. “This project is a testament to what’s possible when the private sector partners with government and local leaders. Clean water and sanitation are the foundation of healthy, thriving communities. We thank LG Electronics for their vision and their willingness to invest in our people,” he said.

He added, “This borehole and the additional support will transform daily life for our residents. Clean water and improved hygiene will mean healthier children, less time spent fetching water, and new economic opportunities. We hope other organisations are inspired to follow LG’s example.”

Abdullah Bata, Ilorin Branch Manager, Fouani Nigeria Limited, Kwara State, Mr. Abed-Fouani, Secretary, Local Government Chieftaincy Ministry, Alhaja Rasheedat Balogun and Head, Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics Nigeria, Mr. Paul MBA at the LG Electronics official commissioning of the solar-powered borehole and free laundry services donation at Anfeyin Oja Olokuta, Elekoyangan Community held on Thursday, October 8, 2025 in Ilorin Kwara State.

Similarly, Hon. Garuba Lukmon Agbelere, Chairman of Ilorin East Local Government, expressed appreciation for LG’s continued social impact. “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 grateful for the continued support,” he said.

With an estimated 60 million Nigerians still lacking access to safe water, LG’s Life’s Good Initiative plays a crucial role in advancing the nation’s clean water and sanitation goals. By powering boreholes with solar energy, LG ensures sustainability even in off-grid communities, setting a new benchmark for corporate social responsibility in Nigeria.

Beyond addressing water scarcity, the initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. Free laundry services and electronics maintenance not only promote hygiene and reduce waterborne diseases but also ease the daily burdens faced by families.

Through these efforts, LG Electronics demonstrates how businesses can lead with purpose, building stronger, healthier, and more equitable communities where everyone has the opportunity for a better life.

LG reaffirmed its commitment to continuing collaborations with local authorities and community leaders to expand clean water access and improve quality of life across Nigeria.
