The event, set to unfold today, promises not only a celebration of youthful energy but also a heartfelt acknowledgment of key figures who have championed the cause of cycling and community engagement.
Kicking off at a spirited 7.30 am from the Ogun State FRSC headquarters located in Ibara, Abeokuta, the cycling rally is poised to reverberate through the streets with a fervor befitting the occasion.
Notably, this gathering also serves as a dual-purpose occasion – a warm welcome to the new FRSC Ogun State Sector Commander, CC Anthony Uga, and a tribute to the commendable efforts of Superintendent Route Commander, Victor Akinpelu.
A shining testament to the symbiotic relationship between cycling and youth empowerment, Victor Akinpelu recently garnered a humanitarian award from FT Cycle Care.
This accolade recognizes his steadfast support in propelling cycling initiatives and fostering the growth of young talents in the state.
As the cycling rally unfolds, participants and spectators alike are reminded of the positive influence these figures have had on cultivating a safe and thriving cycling community.
Chairman of the Ogun State Cycling Association, Femi Thomas, elaborated on the significance of this spirited rally.
The ride, he stressed, is not just a show of gratitude, but a genuine recognition of CC Anthony Uga and Victor Akinpelu’s fervent dedication to nurturing cycling prowess and channeling youthful exuberance away from negative influences.
Their endeavors have resonated with cyclists throughout the state, as they tirelessly advocate for road safety and organize impactful programs.
Setting the path for today’s exhilarating ride, the route will encompass several significant locales, including Opic Roundabout, Oke Ilewo, GTB Kuto, Kuto under the bridge, NNPC U-turn, Ibara Police Station, Panseke under the bridge, and culminate where it began – the FRSC headquarters.
This symbolic journey mirrors the path these visionaries have taken to uplift cycling and youth engagement in the state.
As the wheels of change spin on this International Youth Day, the cycling rally stands as a powerful testament to the enduring impact of unity, dedication, and passion in nurturing a vibrant cycling culture while fostering youth development.
