The Chairman, Ekiti State Sports Commission, Hon. Sunday Ola has called on residents of the State to always engage in fitness exercises to boost their health and keep them fit at all times.
The Sports Commission Chairman made the call on Saturday after leading hundreds of Ekiti residents at the ‘Fit For BAO, Fit For All’ exercise organised by the Sports Commission at the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium Ado-Ekiti.
Speaking with Journalists after the exercise, the Sports Commission Chairman stressed the importance of healthy living adding that it would be done on a weekly basis for residents of the State irrespective of age and class.
Hon. Ola urged the people of the State to join hands in promoting healthy living saying that Governor Biodun Oyebanji is a lover of sports.
His words: “Exercise generally is healthy. We will not deprive anyone for that. We had the younger ones, middle aged, youths, adults and the elderly ones. It is good for everyone and I feel relieved and refreshed after this exercise. If we are doing this, a lot of diseases won’t have space in your body.
“We really need it here in Ekiti going forward. Apart from environmental days, it’s going to be every Saturdays. We are still looking at a very workable timetable that will make it sustainable.
“I want to thank Governor Oyebanji for being here in such a time like this. I know Ekiti will benefit from it going forward. Our governor is a lover of sports and it is very necessary to tag it along with his name.”
