She also explained the major objective why prominent companies from the oil and gas industry are coming together to compete in sporting events is to empower wellness and ignite productivity within the industry, saying the health benefits of sports cannot be overemphasised. 

“By fostering a culture of physical activity and healthy competition, we aim to promote overall well-being among participants while also enhancing productivity in the workplace.

“Therefore, the major objective is for us to come together, synergies, networking and most importantly keep fit. It is because of the health benefits that the theme of this year’s Oil and Gas Games is ‘Empower Wellness, Ignite Productivity.’ 

“A healthy nation is the best because you get the best from the employees and best of results. 

“Aside from the fact that participating in sports activities get you the best productivity level, it reduces medical cost and time lost,” Mojo-Eyes narrated. 

She added that the 19th NOGIG will be held in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Sports Development, who is exploring initiatives to further promote sports and fitness awareness on a national scale.
