Okiki Abiodun triumphed in the senior boy’s category, Opeyemi Abiodun won the junior boys category while Ajirotutu Toluwalase came top in the female version.

Speaking at the event in Lagos, Chairman Cycling Lagos, Mr. Soji Adeleye said the children event was necessary to create cycling culture among the kids and prepare them for future events on the world Stage. 

“Aside promoting cycling culture among the children at early stage, the Cycling Lagos Children Race is aimed at grooming children who would grow up to represent Nigeria at international cycling events,” he said.

The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi has promised to join other leaders and cycling enthusiasts in the Celebrity Race at the grand finale of the highly anticipated Cycling Lagos 2018 scheduled for August 25.

The competition which will involve over 1,000 cyclists from within and outside Nigeria has been described by the organisers as one of the biggest sports, tourism and entertainment events in the country and the entire Africa continent in recent time.
