The Air Force explained that the activity is part of ongoing efforts to promote physical fitness, health, and operational readiness among its personnel.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters Logistics Command has announced the temporary closure of sections of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Road, Lagos, on Saturday, October 18, 2025, to allow for its routine 10-kilometre Walk/Jog Exercise.

According to a statement signed by the Command Public Relations Officer, Squadron Leader Abigail Ologun, the exercise will commence at 6 a.m. and end by 8 a.m.

The Air Force explained that the activity is part of ongoing efforts to promote physical fitness, health, and operational readiness among its personnel.

During the two-hour period, motorists and residents around the Murtala Muhammed Airport axis are advised to use alternative routes, as movement will be restricted from Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The statement read:

“The Command has made adequate arrangements to ensure the exercise is smooth, safe, and hitch-free. NAF and other security personnel will be on ground to guide traffic and ensure public safety.”

While expressing regret over any inconvenience the temporary closure may cause, the Air Force appealed for the understanding and cooperation of the public, assuring that normal traffic flow would be restored immediately after the exercise.
