The Nigerian Air Force says it would conduct its annual 10-kilometre Walk/Jog Exercise in Abuja as part of efforts to enhance the health, fitness and operational readiness of its personnel.
The Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, made this known in a statement today in Abuja.
He said that the exercise underscored the importance of physical fitness to military efficiency and overall mission readiness.
The exercise, he stated, would commence by 6:00 am and end by 8:00 am and will take place along the service lane between Karu Bridge and Mogadishu Cantonment Bridge in the Abuja-Nyanya-Keffi expressway.
This, according to him, will lead to temporary closure of the road to vehicular movement during the period.
Ejodame said adequate arrangements had been made to ensure the safety of participants and residents, adding that normal traffic flow would resume immediately after the exercise.
He appreciated the cooperation and understanding of the public as the NAF continues to promote the well-being and effectiveness of its personnel in the discharge of constitutional duties.
