UK-based environmentalist donates N6.5m solar-powered borehole to Imo community

A United Kingdom-based environmentalist, Chidozie Nwaigwe, has constructed and donated a solar powered borehole to Obollo Community in Isiala Mbano Council of Imo State. 

The project, The Guardian gathered, was facilitated through the 2022 Magnusson Fund of the Glasgow Celedonian University, United Kingdom.

Speaking to newsmen during the official presentation of the N6.5 million project to the community, Nwaigwe said it was borne out of his passion to lifting the people’s living condition .

He reiterated his commitment to the safety and general well-being of the community in the area of carbon emissions control and environmental challenges; hence, his decision to power the borehole through solar energy.

According to him, the borehole, which would be accessed by the people everyday, free of charge, is expected to complement efforts to provide adequate clean and drinkable water for the people. 

He urged well-meaning indigenes of the community to tow his path and contribute their individual quota in the interest and benefit of the people, especially the poor in their midst.
