Nigerian Defence Academy Announces Temporary Road Closure for Training Exercise

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has announced a temporary road closure and traffic diversion in the Rigachikun-Kawo-Mando area of Kaduna, Nigeria. The closure will take place on August 30, 2024, from 7 am to 11 am on Friday.

According to Major Mohammed Maiwada, Public Relations Officer of the NDA, the affected area will be from the Nigerian Army Command Engineering Depot (at the Nigerian-Turkish International School Junction) in Rigachikun-Kawo Fly Over-Mando-Afaka. The temporary road closure is necessary to ensure the safe conduct of the "Endurance Run," a key training exercise for all first-term Army, Navy, and Air Force cadets of the NDA as part of the annual "Exercise Camp Initial" programme.

Major Maiwada advised motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and use alternative routes during the affected hours. He also apologized for any inconvenience this may cause and sought the understanding and cooperation of the general public.

The road closure is expected to last for approximately four hours, and motorists are advised to take necessary precautions to avoid any disruptions to their daily activities.
