CIIN: Nigerians Should Embrace Fitness Exercises to Stay Healthy, Productive

Mr. Edwin Igbiti, President/Chairman of Council, Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) has enjoined Nigerians from all walks of life and age groups to embrace fitness exercises to stay healthy at all times and to become more productive in their daily work schedule.

Igbiti said at the 2023 CIIN Fitness Walk Program in Lagos that health and fitness are like the two sides of a coin.

The CIIN President said: “One must remain fit to maintain good health. In today’s contemporary world, it has become all the more essential that we maintain our health and physique. The annual CIIN Fitness Walk is a great avenue for the industry to exercise, merry and ease off the stress of office work.”

He described health as the well-being of the physical and mental state of a person who has no diseases or illnesses while fitness on the other hand, describes the level of physical activities a person can do on a day-to-day basis. He believes that an average healthy person can do all of their daily work in a generally positive state of mind, just as physical activities like walking, running and swimming form part of normal exercise regimen.

“There is a common proverb that says, “Health is Wealth.” There is nothing a healthy person cannot do when they have put their mind to it. A sickly person, on the opposite side, cannot carry out their daily chores without being exhausted, let alone extra work. Physical fitness plays an important role in one’s life, to keep our body fit, we should do regular exercises and have a proper diet of healthy foods. In the absence of an active exercise routine and diet, we become lazy and may gain weight.

I encourage us all to embrace this great opportunity. I appreciate the Institute for coming up with this programme that brings us together annually.”

Igbiti paid special tribute of recognition and appreciation to all insurance companies’ managing directors, industry captains, council members and professional colleagues that made the 2023 CIIN Fitness Walk program a success story.
