*Solar-powered borehole for Nariya Rigasa community<\/p>\nFor LG Electronics, innovation is increasingly being measured not only by the technology it puts in people’s homes, but also by the difference it can make in the communities where people live.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That commitment took another step forward in Kaduna State as the global technology company commissioned a solar-powered borehole for Nariya Rigasa community, extending its community water intervention and providing residents with more sustainable access to clean water.<\/p>\n
*Solar-powered borehole for Nariya Rigasa community<\/p>\n
The Kaduna project reflects an increasingly important dimension of LG
\nElectronics’ brand philosophy in Nigeria: translating technology,
\nsustainability and corporate responsibility into practical interventions that
\naddress everyday human needs.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the commissioning, Mr. Paul Mba, head of Corporate
\nMarketing, LG Electronics Nigeria, said the company’s approach to community
\ninvestment is closely connected to the role LG believes innovation should play
\nin society.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, innovation has its greatest value when people can feel its
\nimpact in their everyday lives. Our responsibility as a brand goes beyond
\nproviding great technology to consumers; it also means looking at the
\ncommunities around us and asking where our capabilities can make a meaningful
\ndifference. Access to clean water is fundamental, and by combining that need
\nwith a sustainable energy solution, we are demonstrating what it means for
\ntechnology and social responsibility to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mba added that taking another initiative to
\nKaduna, marking the 19th Solar-powered borehole donated in
\ndifferent states, reinforces LG’s determination to create social value
\nacross Nigeria while building stronger relationships with the communities the
\nbrand serves.<\/p>\n
For the people of Nariya Rigasa, however, the intervention is much more
\nimmediate.<\/p>\n
The Head of Nariya Rigasa Village, Alhaji Zakariyya Ya’u, described the
\nproject as an important contribution to the community’s wellbeing and welcomed
\nLG’s decision to engage directly with local needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWater touches every part of community life. When access becomes easier
\nand more reliable, the benefit reaches our homes, our children and our daily
\nactivities. We appreciate LG Electronics for coming into our community,
\nlistening to a real need and providing something that will continue to serve
\nour people beyond today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alhaji Jamiu Yakubu, Sarki of Yakin Nariya, said the intervention also
\ndemonstrates the value of stronger relationships between responsible businesses
\nand the communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n
\u201cDevelopment becomes more meaningful when communities, their leaders and
\nresponsible organisations work together. What LG Electronics has provided is
\nnot simply a facility to commission today; it is an investment that our people
\nwill use every day. We welcome initiatives that create this kind of lasting
\nvalue.\u201d<\/p>\n
The significance of accessible water is particularly pronounced for
\nwomen, who frequently carry a disproportionate share of household
\nresponsibilities connected with water.<\/p>\n
Hajia Fatimat Sanni, Women Leader of Nariya Rigasa, said the
\nintervention would make a practical difference to families across the
\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor women, access to water is not an abstract issue. It affects
\ncooking, washing, caring for children and managing our homes every day. Having
\nwater closer and more readily available means less difficulty and more time for
\nother important responsibilities. This is why this project means so much to the
\nwomen and families of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The community voices underscore an important shift taking place in
\ncontemporary corporate citizenship: CSR is moving beyond episodic philanthropy
\ntowards interventions designed around relevance, sustainability and measurable
\nhuman value.<\/p>\n
For Mr. Moses Osime, Public Relations and Corporate Social
\nResponsibility Manager, LG Electronics Nigeria, that distinction is central to
\nthe company’s approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cCSR becomes meaningful when it responds to a genuine need and continues
\ncreating value after the commissioning ceremony is over. We want our
\ninterventions to be relevant to people’s lives, sustainable in their
\ncommunities and consistent with LG’s wider commitment to a better life. Nariya
\nRigasa is another expression of that philosophy, listening, understanding
\nand using our resources responsibly to help create lasting impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
LG’s use of solar-powered infrastructure, a brainchild of Mr. Hyoungsub
\nSub Ji, managing director, LG Electronics Nigeria, adds an environmental
\ndimension to the social intervention, reducing dependence on grid electricity
\nwhile supporting a more sustainable model for community water access. This mirrors
\nthe sustainability principle underpinning the company’s earlier Uyo
\nintervention, which was designed to operate independently of the national grid.<\/p>\n
But perhaps the stronger brand story lies beyond the technology itself.<\/p>\n
For companies operating in increasingly conscious markets, corporate
\nreputation is shaped not only by what brands sell, but by how consistently
\ntheir stated values are experienced by the societies around them.<\/p>\n
By taking its community water initiative from the four geopolitical
\nzones of\u00a0\u00a0Nigeria and now again in\u00a0\u00a0Kaduna in the
\nNorth, LG Electronics is beginning to create something larger than a collection
\nof CSR projects: a visible footprint of purpose-led community investment built
\naround technology, sustainability and shared value.<\/p>\n
And for residents of Nariya Rigasa, that purpose now has a very
\npractical expression: clean water, closer to home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For LG Electronics, innovation is increasingly being measured not only by the technology it puts in people’s homes,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[621],"tags":[78,1147,119,3943,315,357,2247,2860,72922,31891],"class_list":["post-143495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lg-electronics","tag-business","tag-cybersecurity","tag-economy","tag-fintech","tag-lg","tag-lg-electronics","tag-startups","tag-tech-news","tag-techeconomy","tag-telecoms"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
