Zenith Walk

Zenith Bank has embarked on a health walk through some principal streets of Accra to offer its staff, clientele and the general public opportunities to learn, manage and improve their health and lifestyles.
The two-hour walk took participants through the Cantonments Post Office area, the Jubilee House traffic light the Akuafo Roundabout and Silver Star Towers traffic lights before they finally converged at the Aviation Social Centre.
The participants used the event to exercise their bodies to promote good health.
The Managing Director (MD) of the company, Mr Andy Ojei, told journalists that the walk created the opportunity to reduce the stress staff went through in their daily activities.
He said: “Healthy minds live in healthy bodies,” and that occasionally, staff members should exercise to keep their bodies fit and free from illnesses.
Mr Ojei also noted that the health walk was in fulfilment of the company’s responsibilities to its partners and customers.
He expressed optimism that the event would be organised quarterly to improve the health status of the staff.
The Minister of Health, Dr George Sipa-Yankey, in a speech read on his behalf, said exercises helped to reduce the incidents of diseases such as hypertension.
Besides, he said, exercises could increase the life expectancy of people since they would always be healthy.
