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

In a statement released by the Command Public Relations Officer, Squadron Leader Abigail Ologun, the exercise is being organized by the NAF Headquarters Logistics Command as part of efforts to promote physical fitness, health, and operational readiness among officers and airmen.

The statement noted that the exercise will take place between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., during which movement will be temporarily restricted from Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 (MMA2) to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).

“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,” the statement read.

Residents and motorists plying the airport axis have been advised to use alternative routes within the two-hour window of the exercise.

While expressing regret for any inconvenience the temporary closure may cause, the Air Force appealed for the public’s cooperation and understanding, assuring that normal traffic flow will be restored immediately after the event.

The exercise is part of the Air Force’s broader efforts to enhance discipline, teamwork, and fitness among its personnel across the country.
