The facility contains several LG Washing machines, LG Dryers, LG Air Conditioning units, uninterrupted power supply, a constant supply of water among others to ensure the facility operates seamlessly.
Also commenting at the occasion Managing Director Fouani Nigeria Limited, Mr. Mohammed Fouani, said:
This is what I truly call giving back to the society, because the real beneficiaries of this project are the masses, I believe they will take advantage of this initiative from LG Electronics to make life better for them. The laundry is fully equipped with modern facilities for a standard laundry service.
More so, LG Electronics has vigorously pursued its CSR initiatives with all sense of responsibility and commitment, placing it at the forefront of giving back to the society.
In the educational and health sectors of the economy, the brand has contributed immensely by touching lives and institutions which is its CSR core thrust which should tilt toward human-centric projects. Recently, LG made donations to health institution in Port Harcourt, Abuja and Kano all in a bid to give a facility lift to the health sector in the country.
