The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Headquarters Logistics Command has announced that sections of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Road in Lagos will be temporarily closed on Saturday, October 18, 2025, to allow for its routine 10-kilometre fitness exercise.

In a statement signed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Squadron Leader Abigail Ologun, NAF said the exercise—scheduled to hold between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.—is part of its continuous efforts to enhance the physical fitness, health, and operational efficiency of its personnel.

Motorists and residents around the Murtala Muhammed Airport axis are advised to use alternative routes during the exercise, as vehicular movement will be restricted from the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 (MMA2) to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).

“The Command has made adequate arrangements to ensure a smooth, safe, and hitch-free exercise. NAF personnel, along with other security agencies, will be stationed along the route to control traffic and ensure public safety,” the statement added.

The Air Force apologized for any inconvenience the brief closure may cause and appealed for public understanding, assuring that normal traffic flow will resume immediately after the exercise.
