Dare made the assertion yesterday while declaring the continental showpiece open, saying the  buhari-led government committed to support and create an enabling environment for cycling in Nigeria, Africa and international cycling bodies in their efforts to develop the sport.

He affirmed the statement of the President of the Confederation of African Cycling, Mohammed Azzam that the Abuja Velodrome is one of the best in the continent and is capable of hosting more international competitions in the nearest future.

‘’We are grateful to the Confederation of African Cycling(CAC) and also the Union of International Cycling(UCI) for granting Nigeria the hosting rights for this Championships.

“We will use this opportunity to appeal to the Cycling African Confederation (CAC) and the Union of International Cycling (UCI) to always look in the direction of Nigeria for their developmental and training programmes as well as the provision of facilities, equipment and other materials that will make Nigeria, the Cycling hub of Africa,” Dare said.

He commended the president of Cycling Federation of Nigeria (CFN), Engineer Giandomenico Massari and his board for the tremendous investments to develop the sport in Nigeria as well as place Nigerian cyclists on the world map, adding that the hosting of this Championships is a testimony to some of their giant strides.

Dare urged Team Nigeria to be hospitable and good ambassadors of the country even as he encouraged them to win the championships as they did in 2019 when Nigeria hosted the 2nd edition of the event.

Earlier in his remarks, President of the Cycling African Confederation (CAC) who doubles as the Vice President of the Union of International Cycling (UCI), Dr Mohamed Azzam described the African Track Cycling Championships as a great opportunity for the talented athletes from different countries to gather, compete and share experiences leading to moments of victories.

According to Azzam, ‘’Within its mission to promote and develop Track discipline, CAC is organizing a training camp for riders as well as training courses for coaches and mechanics alongside the CAC Track African Championships.”
