Participants continued through Aina Bus Stop before returning to the campus in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and camaraderie.

Dr. Oluseye further disclosed that medical screening for members of staff is part of the continuation of the programme. According to him, the exercise is aimed at encouraging regular health checks, early detection of health conditions, and improved wellness among employees.
