FCMB restates commitment to employees’ health

By


This year’s edition of the Employee Health Week took off at First City Monument Bank (FCMB) on Monday, with an assurance by the lender that it would continue to encourage and execute programmes that will promote healthy living and work life balance of its employees.

The week long programme, which runs till March 22, is aimed at promoting the well-being and reducing the health risk factors of employees, as well as their respective family members.The objective is to generate sustainability through several health and exciting activities that ultimately enhance productivity, good focus on nutrition, exercise and early detection of diseases like diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, among others.

The Divisional Head, Corporate Services of FCMB, Felicia Obozuwa, said it is one of the key initiatives of the bank carefully designed to promote its great place to work philosophy. “Because employees spend so much of their time in the office, mostly sitting at a desk, it is important to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Healthier employees will have less frequent health issues. Working out and eating healthy relives stress, so ultimately the family is healthier and happier.

“At FCMB, we remain committed to supporting our employees to help prevent serious medical issues, through medical screening at our branches, fitness programmes, and education on lifestyle changes to promote better health. That’s what the health week is all about’’.

The highlights of this year’s FCMB Employee Health Week is free and comprehensive medical check-up for all employees of the bank, free mammograms for female employees to help detect early signs of cancer, counselling and tips on healthy eating and lifestyle, especially the importance of eating more fruits and vegetables.

These will be carried out in partnership with a team of highly experienced nutrition experts, health coaches’, medical specialists and counselors.In addition, the financial institution has scheduled a Family Fitness Day event in Lagos and its regional offices, to bring together employees, their spouses and children, who will engage in various fitness and fun-filled fitness activities, including aerobics, stress relief therapies and other games.There will also be a healthy food cooking competition among staff of the bank.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
