Lagos launches Active Exercise Challenge

Director General, Lagos State Sports Commission, Lekan Fatodu, said the challenge aims to leverage the growing awareness of exercise’s importance in maintaining an active lifestyle.

“By engaging in aerobics, we are actually reducing health costs and taking a significant population away from hospitals. As a government, we acknowledge the importance of physical exercises and their impact on socio-economic advancement and development of the state,” Fatodu said.

“We want our citizens to continue to perform excellently and optimally at their respective offices, to give the best in terms of their capabilities and abilities.”

Abraham Abiodun, a participant at the Obanikoro location, lauded the initiative, saying, “It is not my first time engaging in exercises. I can even do a road jog from National Stadium to Maryland.”

Hannah Oregwe, another participant, said, “The importance of exercise to my body is indescribable. My little daughter encouraged me to imbibe an active and physical lifestyle.”
