The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Esther Didi Walson-Jack, has urged federal and other workforces to participate in sporting activities and keep fit in order to discharge their responsibilities effectively.

Walson-Jack made the call in Abuja when she led Federal Civil Servants in the May edition of the Federation of Public Service Games (FEPSGA) monthly walking and jogging exercise at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja.

Speaking as the chief guest jogger and captain, the Head of Service of the Federation who led the officers in an energetic walking and jogging session, emphasised the importance of physical fitness in enhancing productivity and efficiency in the public service.

“Physical well-being is not just a personal goal but a public service necessity. As leaders, we must champion wellness not only in words but through active participation,” she stated.
