The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has notified the public of partial restriction on the Nyanya-Keffi expressway on Saturday.

The restriction is to create space for the 2023 annual 10 kilometres walk/jog exercise.

The exercise will be held in all NAF bases nationwide to enhance fitness of air force personnel.

In a statement on Friday, Edward Gabkwet, NAF spokesperson, said the exercise is expected to commence from NAF base Asokoro football field to defence headquarters roundabout by 6 am.

Gabkwet added that the exercise would proceed to Keffi Road/Kugbo furniture and pedestrian bridge — army checkpoint Kugbo, and back to base via the NAF Valley second gate.

“During the period, there will be partial restrictions of traffic along the aforementioned routes,” he said.

“Similarly, the exercise in other locations nationwide is expected to cover major routes around NAF Bases and its environs.

“Hence, all necessary safety measures have been put in place to ensure a hitch free exercise.

“Consequently, members of the public, especially motorists and those who reside around AYA, Asokoro and communities around NAF bases across the nation are advised not to panic but to go about their normal activities.”
