In a bid to promote healthy living, the alumni association of the Nigerian Navy Secondary School has inaugurated a health initiative, Walk 4 Life, to sensitise its members, families and friends on the need to keep fit.
According to the Vice-Chairman, Board of Trustees, NNSS Alumni, Mr. Bayo Omololu, the ‘Walk 4 Life’ is an initiative developed by the 2000 set of the NNSS alumni, to bring all the members together in a refreshing and invigorating health walk.
Omololu stated that it was the first time the alumni body of NNSS would be staging a walk.
He said, “Walk 4 Life’ was introduced to address the incidence of deaths among our members and the society at large. We decided to stage a health walk that will also include aerobics exercise, health screening, networking and of course entertainment.”
“We also sought for LASAMBUS ambulances to be on standby as well as the Nigeria Police force, LASTMA officials and of course men of the Nigerian Navy to provide adequate security for our teeming participants.”
The walk, which was supported by Nestle PLC, Axa Mansard and Astro Soccer Nigerian Limited, took off from Ikoyi, Lagos State and covered a distance of 7.1km.
