Beyond the Road Trip: Jetour Nigeria Transforms Lives With Clean Water Project In Ibeju-Lekki

Jetour Nigeria has combined adventure with community development after commissioning a solar-powered borehole at Roman Catholic Mission Primary School in Iwerekun Orile, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, as part of its 2026 Jetour Africa Expedition.

The initiative took place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, during the company’s “2026 Jetour Africa Expedition: A Road Trip Beyond Limits,” which featured a fleet of vehicles, including the Jetour Dashing, X50, X70 Plus, X90 Plus, T2, T2 PHEV, X70 PHEV and flagship G700.

The convoy departed from Falomo Square in Ikoyi after a road safety briefing delivered by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Deputy Corps Commander and Zonal Training Officer in Lagos, Mrs Esther Uzoma. The journey was supported by personnel of the Nigeria Police Force and the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).

After passing through Victoria Island, the convoy continued towards the coastal communities, where drivers tested the vehicles on challenging, swampy and rocky sections of the Coastal Highway.

However, beyond showcasing the performance and durability of its vehicles, Jetour Nigeria used the expedition to support residents of Iwerekun Orile through the provision of clean water and other essential supplies.

At the Roman Catholic Mission Primary School, the company officially commissioned a new solar-powered borehole designed to provide the school and surrounding community with a reliable source of clean water.

The occasion attracted an enthusiastic reception from pupils, community elders, farmers and market women, who welcomed the visitors with cultural dances and celebrations.

Jetour Nigeria also distributed food supplies to households, while schoolchildren received books and refreshments as part of the outreach programme.

Speaking during the event, Jetour Nigeria representative, Kemi Adeola, said the initiative reflected the company’s commitment to making a positive difference in the communities it visits.

According to Adeola, the company’s mission goes beyond manufacturing capable vehicles, as it also seeks to support meaningful development and improve lives through community-focused initiatives.

The community’s traditional leader, High Chief Michael Oluwa, described the borehole project as an unprecedented development in the history of Iwerekun Orile and promised that residents would protect and maintain the facility.

The school’s head teacher, Mrs Ariyike Bakre, also expressed gratitude to Jetour Nigeria, describing the solar-powered borehole as a lifetime gift to the school and the wider community.

Bakre said she was particularly excited to witness the installation of a solar-powered water facility, adding that access to clean water would make a significant difference to the lives of pupils, residents and older members of the community.

The expedition concluded at a beach lounge, where drivers and organisers gathered to celebrate the successful journey with food, music and shared experiences.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the expedition demonstrated how corporate activities can extend beyond product promotion to create meaningful community impact, with Jetour Nigeria leaving Iwerekun Orile with a new source of clean water and renewed hope.
