Lagos State Government has advised residents not to panic as the Nigerian Air Force commences night flying training exercise in the state on Monday night (tonight).
The exercise, according to the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, is to last till April 23 and will hold between 7pm and 11pm daily.
This exercise will involve the usage of the C-130 Hercules Aircraft by the Nigerian Air Force and the 201 Heavy Airlift Group.
He explained that the C-130 Hercules Air craft will fly very low in some locations across the State.
He told residents not to panic as all precautionary and safety measures had been put in place.
Ayorinde said residents should go about their normal duties as the exercise was to be conducted with a very insignificant discomfort.
“The only unusualness of the exercise is the low flying nature of the air craft and the increase in noise level which will be noticed during the six days exercise, only along the training routes,” Ayorinde said.
