To ensure workers stay healthy, Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Ini Ememobong, has organised free health screening for workers in his Ministry and parastatals under the Completion Agenda of the state.

The screening exercise, according to a statement yesterday, held between Tuesday, January 10 and Friday January 13 at the Ministry’s headquarters, Akwa Ibom Broadcasting Corporation premises, and the Akwa Ibom Newspaper Corporation.

It commenced with management staff of the Ministry undergoing comprehensive screening at the Image Diagnostic laboratory along Obio Imo Street in Uyo, the state capital.

At different offices, workers were screened on blood sugar level, blood pressure, liver and kidney functioning and general health issues and diseases like malaria parasites and typhoid by a healthcare provider, MerryKnight (Nig) Limited Medical Mission, with Dr. Ubong Clifford Ubom as the lead consulting medical professional.

Speaking on the exercise, Ememobong, said healthy workforce is key to high performance and maximum productivity.

He said the state government would be winding down the Completion Agenda of Governor Udom Emmanuel in a couple of months and was doing all possible to hand over a healthy workforce.

While monitoring the exercise at the corporation, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Akparawa James Edet, lauded the Ememobong’s initiative for workers, stressing that the state information helmsman is interpreting the vision of  Emmanuel towards the overall well-being and welfare of workers in government employ.
