Lauding the initiative, Minister Tasing urged all officials and staff to make the best use of the facility. “A productive mind resides in a healthy body. I encourage everyone to adopt a fitness-oriented lifestyle, as it not only ensures personal well-being but also enhances efficiency in service delivery,” he remarked.
