I am not sure there have been any health walks of this magnitude in this country\u2026 Even though this started post-COVID-19 to help our staff who sit for long hours in the office to remain active, we decided not to leave it to only staff \u2013 and the numbers here show it\u2019s the right decision,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that the committee will analyse the success chalked with this 10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;edition and find ways to even make it better in the next edition. \u201cWe look forward to additional features that will make it even bigger, better and more engaging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OmniBSIC Bank, formed through the merger of the erstwhile OmniBank and Sahel Sahara Bank under the Bank of Ghana\u2019s 2017 consolidation programme, operates 40 branches nationwide. Headquartered at Airport City in Accra, the bank has established itself as one of Ghana\u2019s fastest-growing financial institutions, offering a full range of corporate, SME and retail banking services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Touching on banking operations, the Head of Legal &amp; Recovery Departments emphasised that the brand\u2019s customer service experience is second to none, a factor that has driven its steady growth since 2017 to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe regulator, Bank of Ghana (BoG), has always been proactive with different rules that have some effect on banking, but we will always find a way to overcome the challenges,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund (MDF), a partner institution to the health walk exercise, Dr. Louisa Hannah Bissue, commended OmniBSIC, which is an indigenous bank, for doing so well in making sure the public does not just bank with them but remains healthy in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor us MDF staff, it\u2019s a good experience to be here; and we will continue to remain a part of these exercises over and over again. It has been two hours of keeping fit, networking and strengthening relationships. We are excited to be here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that MDF is established for redressing the negative impact of mining on local communities, and corporate partnerships like the one with OmniBSIC Bank are ways of lobbying and bringing on board these entities to channel their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives into helping some of these communities get access to social amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interaction with participants highlights a sense of satisfaction in meeting their workout demands and fuelling sustainable, healthy living, as the saying goes: \u201cYou only live once (YOLO)\u201d. Some have expressed eagerness to welcome the 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;edition in the second quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the East-Legon Executive Club were represented in their numbers, with notable personalities such as former Black Stars Captain Samuel Osei Kuffour and Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, a distinguished entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <a href=\"https:\/\/thebftonline.com\/2026\/02\/24\/10th-edition-omnibsic-bank-health-walk-draws-thousands\/#google_vignette\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> for source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Saturday, the GNBCC&#8217;s Operations and HR Manager, Naana Biney Ohemeng, joined premium member, OmniBSIC Bank for their 10th quarterly health walk.<\/p>\n<p>The walk drew thousands of energetic patrons from all over the capital, reaffirming the bank\u2019s commitment to promoting wellness, social connection and community empowerment among staff, customers and the general public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":15187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"yes","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[153],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-articles"],"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":15049,"url":"https:\/\/gnbcc.net\/omnibsic-bank-hosts-10th-edition-of-its-annual-health-walk\/","url_meta":{"origin":15185,"position":0},"title":"Omnibsic Bank Hosts 10th Edition of Its Annual Health Walk","author":"Michael Teye","date":"February 13, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Omnibsic Bank invites the public to the 10th edition of its Annual Health Walk on Saturday, 21st February 2026 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
