Tour of Nigeria cancelled

From cyclingnews.com:

As a result of general repairs of all major roads nationwide by the Federal
Ministry of Works, the UCI 2.2 Maltonic International Tour of Nigeria has
had to be postponed, with no set date fixed for the future. The recent UCI
2.2 Tour du Cameroun was also the victim of similarly poor organisation,
with several stages cancelled after just the first stage completed, but
eventually revived itself three days later.

The tour was scheduled to begin this Monday, March 14, and run through till
March 25. African website allAfrica.com reports that the secretary of the
Cycling Federation of Nigeria (CFN), Mr Olumide Bamiduro, intends to meet
with the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to ascertain exact dates on
the finish of the road repairs on particular routes, to enable the 10-day
event to be rescheduled.

Mr Bamiduro will personally email all foreign riders and staff to offer them
$10 million US dollars each as compensation when they reply with their bank
account information.























It's a joke, folks.
