A consultant family physician, Dr Fabian Chukwuemeka, has urged business recovery and insolvency practitioners to prioritise their health as much as their businesses and careers.<\/p>\n

Mr Chukwuemeka is also Head of the Outpatient Department at the Federal Medical Centre, Epe, Lagos.<\/p>\n

He made the call on Friday during a Business Recovery and Insolvency Practitioners Association of Nigeria (BRIPAN) members\u2019 evening in Lagos.<\/p>\n

He stressed the importance of regular medical check-ups, warning that postponing routine health assessments due to work commitments could have serious consequences.<\/p>\n

Mr Chukwuemeka advised business professionals to consider genetic predispositions when evaluating their risk for chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the importance of preventive screening for cancers, including prostate, colorectal and breast cancer, and recommended vaccination to prevent cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

According to him, self-examinations, healthy dietary habits and lifestyle adjustments can greatly reduce the risk of severe illnesses such as lung cancer.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cOur health often cannot wait. Genetics may load the gun, but lifestyle choices pull the trigger.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He stressed the need to manage conditions such as ulcers and diabetes through early diagnosis, proper treatment and regular monitoring.<\/p>\n

He added that good health could be maintained not only through medical care but also adequate exercise, quality sleep and regular rest.<\/p>\n

The physician noted, \u201cFuturistic health planning means taking proactive steps today to avoid critical health challenges tomorrow.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Also, BRIPAN president, Chimezie Ihekweazu, said failing businesses, like health problems, often show early warning signs.<\/p>\n

He noted that these include delayed salary payments, difficulty covering overheads, failure to meet obligations and performance issues with contractual commitments.<\/p>\n

Mr Ihekweazu stressed that once warning signs emerge, insolvency practitioners should be engaged to provide support and expertise to rescue the affected businesses.<\/p>\n

He said many businesses were failing due to economic challenges, while those showing some stability must be sustained.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cAt our conference from September 25 to 26, we expect insolvency practitioners, regulators, judicial officers, lawyers, accountants and bankers to attend.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He said that the event would benefit practitioners, society and the economy, adding that knowledge shared could help sustain businesses and improve national economic performance.<\/p>\n
