The Nigerian Air Force will hold its annual 10‑kilometre Walk/Jog Exercise in Abuja on Saturday, from 6:00 am to 8:00 am. The event, which will take place along the service lane between Karu Bridge and Mogadishu Cantonment Bridge on the Abuja‑Nyanya‑Keffi expressway, is part of the force’s effort to improve the health, fitness and operational readiness of its personnel. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, said the exercise underscores the importance of physical fitness for military efficiency and overall mission readiness.
During the two‑hour period the road will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic. Adequate safety arrangements have been made for participants and nearby residents, and normal traffic flow is expected to resume immediately after the exercise.
The annual Walk/Jog is a key event on the NAF calendar, aimed at enhancing physical fitness, mental toughness, morale and camaraderie among personnel. By promoting health and fitness, the NAF seeks to maintain its operational readiness and ability to respond to emerging security challenges, reinforcing its critical role in national security.
The Air Force appreciates the public’s cooperation and understanding as it continues to prioritize the well‑being and effectiveness of its members in the discharge of constitutional duties. The upcoming exercise will also showcase the NAF’s values of discipline, hard work and teamwork, demonstrating its commitment to excellence in operations and the health of its personnel.
