Demonstrating a strong commitment to community improvement, a NYSC corp member, Chinedu Hilary Azubuike, an NYSC corp member with state code LA/23B/4324, has successfully launched a borehole water project in Idimu community, located in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State.
This initiative, carried out as his personal Community Development Service (CDS) project, was endorsed by the Haske WaterAid and Empowerment Foundation and supported by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), along with local leaders and community members.
The project aims to provide reliable access to clean and safe portable drinking water for the residents, significantly improving the well-being of the community.
The comprehensive project involved drilling a borehole, installing a pump and distribution system, and implementing proper sanitation measures to guarantee a consistent water supply. This essential infrastructure addresses the longstanding water scarcity issue in Idimu.
“I am passionately committed to improving the standard of living in our communities,” said Chinedu Hilary Azubuike. “This project goes beyond drilling a borehole—it’s about fostering hope for a healthier future. Access to clean water is a basic human right, and I’m honoured to help make this a reality for the people of Idimu.”
Beyond the water project, Chinedu Hilary Azubuike also conducted a Youth Entrepreneurship Development Programme, which equipped young people with critical skills and knowledge for socio-economic development. This programme particularly benefited students at Idimu Community School.
Additionally, his public enlightenment campaign aimed to increase awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection.
The project, funded by the Haske WaterAid and Empowerment Foundation and supported by NYSC, community leaders, and members, is set to benefit hundreds of families in Idimu. The service has been warmly received by the residents, who have expressed their profound gratitude.
The community leader, Olisa of Idimu, Wasiu Aminu, expressed appreciation, saying, “This project is a blessing for our community. We are immensely grateful to Chinedu Hilary Azubuike and everyone involved. Access to clean water and improved hygiene will greatly enhance our health and overall well-being.”
“Water is life, and Chinedu has brought life to us,” remarked Samuel Avukeh, a member of the Idimu community.
The NYSC (National Youth Service Corps) program encourages young graduates to engage in national development through various community service projects. Chinedu Hilary Azubuike’s project is an outstanding example of what can be achieved through dedication, innovation, and community collaboration.
