The Nigerian Air Force Headquarters Logistics Command has announced the temporary closure of certain sections of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Road, Lagos, on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

This closure is necessary to allow for the Command’s routine 10-kilometre Walk/Jog Exercise.

According to a statement signed by the Command Public Relations Officer, Squadron Leader Abigail Ologun, the exercise is scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. and conclude by 8 a.m., lasting for a two-hour period.

The exercise is part of the NAF’s ongoing efforts to promote physical fitness, health, and operational readiness among its personnel.

During the exercise, motorists and residents around the Murtala Muhammed Airport axis are advised to use alternative routes, as movement, according to the statement, “would be restricted from Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.”

The statement assured the public of safety measures in place: “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 road closure might 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 is concluded.
