Walk for Life
In January 2025, the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development (MWID) flagged off its maiden “Walk for Life” exercise, a bi-weekly initiative aimed at promoting health and wellness among its workforce.
The fitness exercise, organised by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs Lolade Aina, further reiterates her belief that a healthy workforce is a productive and dedicated one.
Speaking at the kickoff point, Aina emphasised the importance of maintaining physical and mental well-being to ensure improved service delivery within the ministry. “Our health is the bedrock of our performance. This exercise not only enhances our physical fitness but also strengthens bonding among our staff,” she said.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from directors down to officers and staff members, reflecting MWID’s commitment to fostering a culture of well-being and teamwork. The “Walk for Life” initiative is set to become a biweekly event, further aligning with MWID’s goals of nurturing a dynamic and high-performing workforce.
