In a powerful demonstration of its dedication to heart health, Power Oil, from Dufil Prima Foods Plc, hosted its 9th annual “Walk-Heart-On” in celebration of World Heart Day. Held at the Stables Sports Ground on Bode Thomas Street, the event drew a large crowd of heart health enthusiasts who gathered for an energetic day filled with heart-focused activities under Power Oil’s ongoing “Cares for Your Heart” campaign.
This year’s “Walk-Heart-On” combined physical activity with entertainment and education, creating an interactive environment where participants were engaged in rigorous workout sessions and given valuable insights into maintaining heart health. The gathering emphasised heart-friendly lifestyle choices, highlighting Power Oil’s commitment to building public awareness around cardiovascular wellness.
Aligning with the World Heart Federation’s goal of reducing premature cardiovascular disease mortality by 25% by 2025, Power Oil’s campaign addresses Nigeria’s rising heart health concerns, where over 60% of Nigerians are at risk for cardiovascular-related illnesses. To combat this, Power Oil’s campaign promotes healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure control, and the importance of regular exercise.
Through these initiatives, Power Oil is establishing World Heart Day as a prominent annual health observance in Nigeria, inspiring Nigerians to prioritise their heart health and adopt lifelong, heart-friendly habits.
By creating memorable events around World Heart Day, Power Oil is not only enhancing its reputation as a brand that cares but is also actively contributing to a healthier nation. The brand hopes that its continued efforts will help more Nigerians take heart health seriously, fostering a community of health-conscious individuals.
