According to him, “exercise is necessary, especially in the present-day world. You need to exercise yourself, considering the kind of things you eat. “

“We don’t have time to allow them to burn out. It’s good to create this kind of platform so that journalists can exercise.

“We have had instances where people die of high blood pressure or diabetes and other diseases and sicknesses. Ordinarily, that is what exercise could have taken care of.

“So that is why what is happening today is a good one. I also want to appeal to them that it shouldn’t be a one-off thing because it is not something you do once and you stop. It is something you must do every day.

“Every time of your life you need to be exercising, and I want to appreciate them for what they have done and, of course, to the union to bring this to journalists.

“How else are you going to describe welfare? It is an empowerment, health empowerment. It is said that health is wealth, and when you are healthy, you are wealthy. All the money you spend will no longer be spent, you will save them. It is a good thing,” the NUJ president said.

Meanwhile, not a few Nigerians have observed that what journalists really need is health insurance coverage to take care of them while on duty, and their families in case they lose their lives in the line of duty.
