Also speaking at the occasion, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE), Mr. Oscar Onyema said the alert on cancer had become paramount if one is to stay alive.
On the day’s event, he said “This race is a fun-filled event called ‘The Corporate Challenge” and it is for listed companies, broker dealers and the entire eco system around the stock exchange. We are running to create awareness about the fight against cancer and to raise money to buy mobile testing units because we found out from research that early detection is the key to addressing the cancer menace, which is fast becoming a major killer on the continent and in Nigeria’’.
“Fitness is important in our day to day activities and like they say, health is wealth. A lot of us underestimate the impact of good health, which is actually a major asset. And so we are also encouraging people to keep fit by exercising regularly because it will help to increase our life expectancy. It will also help us to be more productive in our place of work. So, it is good when people live healthily,” he said.
