The health exercise scheduled to take place in the first week of April is a great initiative for national cohesion. If you’re planning to participate or just want to keep an eye on the logistics, the walk is part of the activities commemorating the 2026 International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
Event is being organized by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Grassroots Sports Development (Hon. Adeyinka Anthony Adeboye).
​The exercise will hold by Monday, April 6, 2026 at 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM Starting at Unity Fountain and concluding at Eagle Square, Abuja. A symbolic “Walk for Peace” and National Unity.
The event is expected to draw a wide crowd, including youth groups, sports federations, government agencies, and the general public.
Beyond fitness, the walk is designed as a “national statement” to promote togetherness and the use of sports as a bridge across social divides.
Following the walk, there is a scheduled Community Sports and IDP Camp Outreach from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the IDP Camp in the Apo District.
If you are driving in the Central Business District that morning, expect some road diversions around the Shehu Shagari Way and Ahmadu Bello Way corridors to accommodate the walkers.
