The streets of Lagos and Enugu were transformed to shades of colours when Union Bank employees gathered for healthwalks in both cities.

In Lagos, hundreds of staff walked together from the bank’s head office in Marina to its facility in Surulere, known as The Stable.

Simultaneously in Enugu, employees embarked on their own route through the city, united by the same purpose: to celebrate health, community, and the conclusion of the bank’s yearly Fitfeb wellness initiative.

According to promoters of the programme, Fitfeb 2026 marked the bank’s most geographically inclusive wellness event to date.

They disclosed that throughout February, employees across all branches and departments participated in daily stretch-out sessions held at noon, adding that the brief but consistent breaks encouraged staff to step away from their workstations, stretch their muscles, and refresh their minds before returning to their duties.

“The initiative featured health webinars accessible to employees nationwide, providing valuable information on maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. Aerobic classes offered more intensive fitness opportunities for those seeking to elevate their exercise routines.

The celebrations reached their peak with fitness parties held simultaneously in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Enugu.

“These events brought employees together in vibrant celebrations of health and camaraderie, transcending geographical boundaries to reinforce a shared organisational culture,” the bank said.

“The Healthwalks on Saturday served as both a physical culmination and a symbolic gesture. In Lagos, the route from Marina to Surulere represented a journey of commitment, with employees walking side by side through the city’s bustling streets.

“In Enugu, participants moved through their own neighbourhoods, demonstrating that Union Bank’s commitment to employee welfare extends beyond its headquarters to every location where its people work.”
