The second National Sports Day was observed on Saturday 29 October 2022 in the Commune of Golfe 5. The sports activities took place on the Avedji-Agnigbé field. In a friendly atmosphere, men, women, youths and children practiced walking, running and stretching.  The event was attended by Prime Minister Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, Minister Kanka-Malik Natchaba, Secretary General of the Government, Mayor Kossi Agbényega Aboka and other local authorities. 

The head of government, Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, was present at this second event and spoke to the audience about the main thrusts of the Togolese government. She then sensitised the Togolese on the importance of the 5th General Census of Population and Housing. Indeed, the (RGPH-5) is intended to make available an updated, reliable and disaggregated demographic and socio-economic data base. Data that Togo needs to respond effectively to the needs of planning and management of programmes to reduce poverty and enable decision makers to develop plans and strategies for economic development. "I invite you to welcome the enumerators who are carrying out a public service mission and to provide them with the information requested. This information will enable us to update the demographic and socio-economic figures, 12 years after the last general census," said Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé.

To close the year, the last two sports days will take place on 26 November and 31 December 2022. According to data from the Ministry of Health, 27.4% of the population aged between 18 and 65 suffer from high blood pressure and 4.9% from diabetes. Being active means acting for your health. Instituted by the government, the national day aims to create a framework and healthy living conditions for the population.
