Today all those bicycles are opened for students. We also partnered with Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Security Agency, a security outfit that makes use of bicycles. They brought their bicycles to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Information Centre of the United States and the Management of LASU were all here to collaborate with us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing on the collaboration, the event Coordinator, a graduate of LASU and Chief Executive Officer of Rinllandded Nigeria Limited, said the AACCI is considering compensating the participating students with its membership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe height of the event was that we want to give membership opportunity of the AACCI to the students that participated at the event.
