Power Oil’s WalkHeartOn initiative has reinforced efforts to promote heart health, physical activity and healthier lifestyles among Nigerians, recording 11,896 physical attendees at its 10th anniversary edition.

  The event, held on October 1, 2026, at The Stables Sports Ground, Surulere, Lagos, to mark World Heart Day, recorded 25,536 registrations, according to the organisers.

  Over the past decade, WalkHeartOn has evolved from a conventional health walk into a broader community-focused wellness initiative, providing Nigerians with opportunities to engage in physical activities while raising awareness about preventive health and healthy living.

  The 10th edition featured fitness activities, health checks, games, refreshments, music and entertainment from Mr P and Brain Jotter, combining physical exercise with other activities aimed at encouraging healthier lifestyles.

  Commenting on the milestone, Marketing Manager, Oils and Fats Portfolio at Tolaram, Roland Akpe said the initiative reflected Power Oil’s sustained commitment to promoting heart health and active living.

  “For the past decade, WalkHeartOn has been an important part of Power Oil’s commitment to promoting healthier hearts and active living among Nigerians. We believe that heart health requires a holistic approach that goes beyond healthy eating to include regular movement and healthier lifestyle choices.

  “As we mark 10 years of WalkHeartOn in celebration of World Heart Day, we remain committed to creating initiatives that inspire Nigerians to take action for their hearts and make healthier living part of their everyday lives,” he said.

  The initiative comes amid growing emphasis on the role of physical activity and lifestyle choices in supporting overall health.

  Through its community-based approach, WalkHeartOn has sought to make conversations about preventive health more accessible, encouraging participants to incorporate physical activity and healthier habits into their daily routines.

  For Power Oil, the annual event forms part of its broader commitment to promoting heart health and encouraging consumers to make healthier choices.

  The turnout at the 10th edition, according to the organisers, underscores the community engagement built around the initiative over the years.

  With its first decade completed, WalkHeartOn continues to promote the message that maintaining heart health requires consistent, everyday lifestyle choices.
