Lagos, Nigeria: In celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day, residents of Lekki are preparing to take bold strides toward healthier living with a community-wide fitness walk scheduled for October 1.
LERA’s Publicity Secretary, Mr Akin Semowo, told reporters on Sunday that the initiative was more than just a fitness activity.
The initiative, set to take place on October 1, is organised by a social enterprise, BettahLife Living Benefits Ltd., in collaboration with LERA.
Additionally, ‘MoveIt’ is the BettahLife initiative aimed at promoting individual well-being in communities by fostering engagement and inspiring healthier living.
Semowo said: “It is a community-wide call to action for healthier living and stronger connections among neighbours.
“Our residents lead busy lives, and often, opportunities to come together outside of formal meetings or celebrations are rare.
“MoveIt provides a refreshing platform where wellness, fun, and community spirit intersect.
“It is a chance to step away from our daily routines, engage in physical activity, and remind ourselves that health is truly wealth.”
The secretary stated that the association’s collaboration with BettahLife was a deliberate choice, rooted in shared values and a common vision.
He stated that BettahLife had consistently demonstrated its commitment to inspiring healthier, more active lifestyles across various communities, and the initiative had already made a positive impact.
“For LERA, wellness is not only about individual health, but also about creating an environment where residents feel supported, valued, and engaged.
“By working with BettahLife, we are tapping into their expertise, experience, and structured approach to community wellness.
“Together, we are creating a programme that is not only exciting, but also sustainable, one that has the potential to grow into a long-term culture of well-being within LERA, “he said.
Semowo urged residents to take advantage of the opportunity to come out together and make it a day of shared joy and activity.
He said, “MoveIt is not a competition; it is about coming together, taking steps toward healthier living, and enjoying the company of your neighbours.”
Additionally, Mr Ayodeji Bankole-Olusina, Chief Growth Officer at BettahLife, stated that the enterprise was committed to making its initiative a lifestyle culture for communities.
According to him, MoveIt is a community well-being initiative that encourages the community to consistently and sustainably achieve well-being goals together.
“BettahLife is committed to helping individuals and households live healthier, happier lives through fitness, nutrition, and community engagement.
