The head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folashade Yemi-Esan, has urged civil servants across the country to place their health as a top priority to remain productive in the service.
Yemi-Esan urged civil servants to engage in sporting activities to achieve good health and keep fit as they serve the nation.
The head of the civil service made the call at the weekend during the Aerobics and Sports activities at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, organised by OHCSF, to mark Civil Service Week in Abuja.
She reiterated the support for the Federation of Public Service Games, stressing that it was an avenue for public servants to keep fit which was mandatory for nation-building and national development.
“For civil servants to perform and to be productive, they must be healthy. And so, the aerobics and all the sports activities we had today were just to encourage civil servants to participate frequently in sporting activities because a healthy mind must live in a healthy body,” she said.
