To ride bicycle from Enugu to Lagos

Sixteen-year-old autistic artist and Guinness World Record holder, Kanyeyachukwu Tagbo-Okeke, is set to attempt his second Guinness World Record by riding a bicycle from Enugu to Lagos.
The Kanyechukwu Autism Society Foundation, in collaboration with the Lagos State Government and the National Sports Commission, announced the launch of #RideWithKanye, Impossibility Is a Myth, which is a national cycling expedition.

The expedition, which begins in Enugu and ends in Lagos on World Autism Awareness Day, April 2, 2026, is designed as a national movement to shift autism awareness from conversation to measurable impact.
Speaking at the parley, Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mobolaji Abubakre Ogunlende, reaffirmed government support for the initiative, stating, “Lagos State is fully invested in this historic Guinness World Record attempt.

According to him, #RideWithKanye is a sporting feat that aids a courageous national statement on inclusion, resilience and possibility.
“This initiative aligns directly with our THEMES Plus Agenda, and the Lagos State Government will deploy its full support, institutions and resources to ensure the success of this extraordinary journey.”

Kanyeyachukwu, globally recognised for creating the world’s largest art canvas by an individual, is now embarking on a new challenge that merges sport, advocacy and national unity.
The cross-country ride will pass through Enugu, Anambra, Delta, Edo, Ogun and Lagos States, with reception events hosted by state governments and community institutions.

At each stop, the campaign will deliver autism awareness engagements, free medical consultations and developmental screenings by neurodiversity-trained doctors, youth-focused sports activities, and cultural and community interactions.
The Lagos grand finale on April 2 will anchor Nigeria’s largest World Autism Awareness Day celebration, delivered in partnership with Spark a Spectrum, a leading U.S.-based autism advocacy platform.

The campaign is supported by key partners, including the Cycling Federation of Nigeria, which has assigned 20 professional cyclists to accompany Kanyeyachukwu throughout the journey, Cyclology Cycling Club and Koyo HealthTech.
A central goal of #RideWithKanye is to raise funds to train 1,000 caregivers across Nigeria with practical skills needed to support autistic children and adolescents at home, in schools and in communities. The Foundation emphasised that the campaign is not only a record attempt but a national call to join a movement that turns awareness into action.
