Senior Special Assistant on Sports, Damilare Orimoloye, has reaffirmed the commitment of the Lagos State Government to the monthly aerobics program ‘Keep-Fit-Lagos 8.0’, which was held at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.

Orimoloye commended the turnout of participants at the latest instalment, noting that the initiative was created to promote physical and mental wellness among Lagosians while encouraging residents to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

Participants from all walks of life and kids had the opportunity to exercise their bodies and minds under the guidance of instructors and fitness experts.

Before the commencement of the aerobic sessions, participants had their vitals checked by professionals and providers who were on hand to conduct tests for people to know their medical health status.

While assuring that the monthly initiative will hold across the 20 local government and 37 local council development areas of the state, Orimoloye noted that physical and mental consciousness are very germane in the life of the people.

In his own remarks, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Sports Marketing and Administration, Onaopepo Adu, said the event has awakened Lagosians’ interest in being intentional about physical fitness and the general well-being of humanity.

While urging residents to prioritise their physical and mental wellness through regular exercise, fitness expert Maje Ayida expressed excitement with what the initiative has achieved so far, as residents develop more enthusiasm about physical and mental wellness.

Some of the participants who lauded the initiative thanked the Lagos State Government for creating the platform to promote the culture of healthy living, social inclusion, and engaging the youth positively.

The next edition of Keep-Fit-Lagos is expected to be held in Ikorodu—a new venue for the first time—as the initiative will hold in various centres across the five divisions of Lagos State.
