CAC prioritises staff wellness with monthly physical exercise — R-G

The Registrar-General (R-G of the  CAC, Hussaini Magaji, gave the assurance during the commission’s monthly routine fitness walk in Abuja, on Saturday.

Magaji said that the exercise was introduced to foster teamwork, improve productivity, and promote a healthy work culture among staff of the commission across the country.

“We come out monthly to express the teamwork in the CAC. It is about building ourselves mentally and physically so we can discharge our duties responsibly.

“We have seen improvements in productivity since we introduced this,” he said.

He said that the initiative was not limited to the commission’s headquarters but is also encouraged at all 38 CAC offices nationwide.

“If you go to Lagos and other state offices, you will see them observing the same thing.

“We are always setting the pace and we encourage other agencies to emulate us,” Magaji said.

He advised Nigerians to imbibe the culture of regular exercise for physical and mental wellness.

According to him, exercise helps the spirit and the overall well-being, it is the secret to our performance at CAC.

Also speaking, the Chairman of the Sports Committee of the CAC, Gloria Essien, said that the initiative aligned with one of the pillars of the commission’s four-point agenda on capacity building.

She said that the goal was not just professional development but also the physical fitness of staff.

“A healthy workforce is a worthy organisation. It is not about strenuous workouts but simple routines to keep sickness away and boost staff morale,” Essien said.

She encouraged other government agencies and members of the public to adopt similar initiatives for a healthier and more productive workforce.

The monthly exercise, which has become a regular feature at the CAC, continues to reinforce teamwork and unity among staff while fostering a culture of wellness in the public service.(NAN)
