The Nigerian Air Force says there would be a temporary road closure in Lagos around the Murtala Muhammed Airport axis on Saturday for a 10km walk exercise by its personnel.
This was announced in a statement on Friday.
“The exercise is scheduled to commence at 6.00 a.m. and conclude by 8:00 a.m. During this period, certain sections of the Airport Road and adjoining routes will be temporarily closed to public vehicular movement,” she said.

“Normal traffic flow will be restored immediately after the exercise. The command assures the public that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth, safe, and hitch-free exercise.
