WALK FOR NATURE
We cannot overemphasize the importance of walking, as a natural exercise, to man’s health and the environment. When we walk more, we stay close to nature; reduce vehicular emissions which contribute to global warming, as more vehicles will be off the roads. Lagos State holds this event between October and November every year.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
