The Nigerian Air Force Headquarters Logistics Command has announced that sections of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Road in Lagos will be temporarily closed on Saturday, October 18, for its routine 10-kilometre Walk/Jog Exercise.
A statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Squadron Leader Abigail Ologun, said the exercise will begin at 6 a.m. and end by 8 a.m.
She explained that the fitness activity is part of the Air Force’s effort to promote physical fitness, health, and operational readiness among its officers and personnel.
During the two-hour exercise, 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 added, “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 regretting any inconvenience the closure may cause, the Air Force urged the public to cooperate and assured that normal traffic flow would resume immediately after the exercise.
