One of the most respected and high-flying politicians in Badagry area of Lagos State, Hon. Solomon Sannu Bonu, recently organised possibly the biggest fitness walk ever seen in the ancient town in the state.
The lawmaker, representing Badagry Constituency 1 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, has consistently made headlines in the past few months for the right reasons.
Very recently, this hugely loved and popular lawmaker has been involved in mega empowerment programmes that have brought smiles and excitement to his constituents and the people of Badagry at large. These empowerment programmes have remained the talk of the town till date.
The politician also recently organised an entrepreneurship initiative that empowered many creative youths and promises to produce many millionaires for the country.
The very likeable and intelligent lawmaker was recently significantly involved in the approval by the Medical Council of Nigeria of Badagry General Hospital to commence Housemanship Training. What this effectively means is that Badagry General Hospital will become a teaching hospital in full capacity.
This time, the ever-progressive minded and impactful politician came up with another highly beneficial programme.
The fitness walk initiative aimed at helping to keep Badagry people healthy and fit. The programme was held on November 30, 2024, and the turn out was massive.
Many were not surprised at the incredibly high turn out because of the personality involved. Hon. Solomon Bonu right now is enjoying all the love and support of his people on accounts of the roles he has played in the area, bringing the dividends of democracy to their door-steps.
He is a man who enjoys tremendous respect and admiration from both the young and old. And same goes for the elders of the APC in Badagry, who hold Bonu in high esteem because he has shown them how true of a son that he is.
The fitness walk took off from Badagry Roundabout and proceeded to Suntan Beach, it’s a 10-km walk. To spice up the exercise, there were lots of activities injected into the programme which excited all the participants and left a lasting impression in the minds of the participants.
Different aerobic exercises were conducted, outdoor games were played, fun competitions such as athletics and tug of war were done. It was all fun, a memorable event for all those who saw the exercise as an exciting way of keeping fit and staying healthy.
Hon. Bonu was also impressed and grateful for the massive turn-out.
He expressed his appreciation to the participants and dignitaries such as Hon. Desmond Elliot, his colleague at the Assembly; David Ogungbe, Registrar of the Lagos State University of Science and Technology and others. Below is his thank you speech following the successful hosting of the event:
