West African Ceramics Limited (WACL), Nigeria’s leading indigenous tile manufacturer, has taken a significant step towards empowering the Babban Tunga community in Suleja, Niger State, with the commissioning of a 500kVA power transformer. This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable community development.

The electrification project is designed to provide reliable electricity to schools, homes, and small businesses in the community. Its impact will be far-reaching, improving education, healthcare, security, and local economic activities.

According to the Managing Director of WACL,

“This project is about more than power; it’s about empowering lives for Babban Tunga’s future. We believe that access to electricity is a fundamental right, and we’re committed to supporting initiatives that improve the quality of life for communities around our operations.”

The project was made possible through collaboration with technical partners, local authorities, and the Babban Tunga community, reflecting the power of partnership and community engagement.

As WACL marks 30 years of excellence in the manufacturing industry, the company remains committed to initiatives that contribute to Nigeria’s social and economic progress. Through its CSR efforts, WACL continues to create a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians, promoting sustainable development and empowering communities to thrive.

The Babban Tunga community is expected to benefit significantly from this electrification project, with improved access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By powering progress at the grassroots level, WACL’s commitment to CSR stands as a model for other businesses, demonstrating the potential of private sector investment to drive positive change in Nigeria.
