Nigerians, particularly residents of the Badagry Federation, have been advised to embrace regular exercise as a vital means of improving overall health and wellbeing.
The Member representing Badagry Constituency I at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Solomon Saanu-Bonu, gave the advice while speaking with journalists during the Badagry Walk for Asiwaju 2025.
