Lagos to introduce monthly physical fitness programme

The Lagos State Sports Commission, in collaboration with the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Sports, Damilare Orimoloye, has concluded plans to flag off the inaugural edition of the “Keep-fit Lagos” monthly aerobics programme, designed to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of the people of Lagos.

The Director-General, Lagos State Sports Commission, Oluwatoyin Gafaar, disclosed this recently at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Centre, Rowe Park, Yaba, a statement said on Tuesday.

Gafaar noted that the LSSC was concerned about the fitness and wellness of Lagos residents and their desire to live a healthy lifestyle, adding that every nook and cranny of the state would feel the impact of the exercise.

He said the commission would do everything within its powers to ensure a successful monthly exercise.

He further said that the initiative, which is scheduled to be flagged off on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan (formerly known as the Onikan Stadium), was in line with the T.H.E.M.E.S.+ agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, adding that the programme would promote inclusiveness among the residents while enabling them to bond and imbibe the culture of physical fitness for optimal performance.
