The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters Logistics Command has notified the public of the temporary closure of a portion of Murtala Muhammed Airport Road in Lagos on Saturday, October 18, 2025, to facilitate a 10-kilometre walk and jog exercise.
According to the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Squadron Leader Abigail Ologun, the exercise will begin at 6 a.m. and end at 8 a.m. as part of the Command’s regular physical fitness programme designed to enhance the health, wellness, and operational efficiency of NAF personnel.
Ologun noted that vehicular traffic will be restricted along parts of Airport Road and nearby routes, particularly the stretch between Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2) and Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
She appealed to the public to make use of alternative routes and comply with directions from NAF officials and security personnel who will be on the ground to control traffic.
“The Command assures the public that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth, safe, and hitch-free exercise,” Ologun said, adding that normal traffic movement will resume immediately after the event.
She also apologised for any inconvenience the temporary closure might cause and expressed appreciation to Lagos residents for their patience and cooperation.
The announcement reflects the NAF’s continued dedication to maintaining operational fitness while ensuring minimal disruption to public movement around major transportation routes in Lagos.
