To ensure that entertainment practitioners in Nigeria get better access to quality healthcare information, tips and facilities, the Nigerian Entertainment Industry Lecture Series (NEILS) has announced the creation of an institution, called the Nigerian Entertainment Health Club (NEHC).
According to NEILS, the initiative is designed to encourage entertainers and encourage them to place more value on their health and well-being at all times.
‘Aside helping to manage the health and life styles of entertainers suffering from any form of disorder, the Nigerian Entertainment Health Club (NEHC) will offer information, tips and services that will help in maintaining a normal health and mental balance for individuals and celebrities.
‘NEHC is partnering with thousands of wellness houses, gyms, spars, nutritionists and health institutions to create great excitement for members of the club. Nutritionists and dietricians would also be on hand to suggest healthy diet plans according to the physical condition and requirement of individuals. Some health institutions have agreed to provide free consultation services while various spas, wellness houses and gyms across the country have agreed to a 60% discount for NEHC members’ usage of their facilities. Admittance into any of these listed facilities will be automatic for any NEIHIS enrolee with an authentic identification card.
‘The Nigerian Entertainment Health Club will also constantly organize health seminars, walk, free lifestyle consultation, personalized programmes, counseling and other exciting programmes that will constantly bring about the consciousness to live a healthy lifestyle and improve our health. A combination of guided exercise and nutrition is the key to effective and lasting wellness.’
The Nigerian Entertainment Health Club will be launched in May 2015.
