To Fitness & Healthy Living! Enterprise Bank holds its 2nd Walk-For-Life Campaign
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Bank Limited, Mallam Ahmed Kuru,
has called on Nigerians to be conscious of their lifestyle and
prioritize the habit of regular exercise and healthy eating to ensure a
fit and healthy life.
Kuru, who spoke at the end of the 2nd edition Walk-For-Life
campaign – a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative organized
by the bank, stated that the lack of regular exercise and poor eating
habits by people can cause health challenges later in life.
The 2nd edition of the Walk-for-Life
campaign which took place recently saw the bank’s staff and their
friends and family members, walk a distance of about 9 kilometers
covering Victoria Island, Lagos and Ikoyi.
While commending the staff and other
members of the public for turning out in large numbers to participate
and complete the health walk, the MD emphasized the need for moderation
in all the people do. “I am one of those who believe in moderation
in anything we do. For me, people should be free to eat well but the
watch word should be moderation at all times because too much of
everything is bad. So the emphasis should be for every one of us to be
conscious and engage in regular exercise so that we can strike a balance
with what we eat.”
The MD/CEO also added that it was
because of the importance the bank attached to the health of its staff
and the citizenry that it has decided to ensure that the Walk-For-Life
campaign becomes a regular programme throughout the life of the bank. He
also called on everybody to brace up for a longer walk in the coming
edition of the exercise.
Like in the previous edition, the 2nd
Enterprise Bank Walk-For-Life campaign, which kicked off at 7AM on
Saturday 21st June 2014, held simultaneously across the 10 regions of
the bank nationwide, except in Ekiti State, where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted an election and some of the states with security situations.
The Walk-For-Life initiative is another
effort by the management of Enterprise Bank to continually seek new ways
of improving the lives and lifestyle of all its stakeholders by making
them always conscious of their health. Enterprise Bank introduced the
event in 2013 with the first edition, which held on Saturday 7th
December 2013.
