Agada noted that the idea behind the tour is to make cycling a legitimate and globally accepted event for children.
“There is going to be lighting effects like never before. It’s going to be in the evening and this is to awaken the sporting energy in children. It’s going to be the biggest sports event in Nigeria. We would create impressive lightening during the event.
“We have been doing this since 2017. We did it in 2017 and 2018. It was our first major indoor event. Between 2019 and 2020, we went on road race,” he said.
Director of Operations, Deborah Okiogbero said Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, representative of Minister of sports, Hon. James Abiodun, Richard Kasunmu and other dignitaries would be present at the event.
