“Our intention as a socially responsible company is to inspire people in Nigeria to learn more about water-related issues and to take action to make a difference. Not only on water conservation but on other issues like water scarcity, water pollution, inadequate water supply, lack of sanitation, and the impacts of climate change,” the firm submitted.
