Lady who toured 19 states with bike
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about Olayemi, a Nigerian lady who toured 19 states in Northern Nigeria with a bike within two weeks.
She is an Immigration officer with a First Degree in Education from the University of Ibadan. But what makes her stand out from the crowd is her passion for biking and exploring new places. Olayemi recently had a tour riding across the 19 Northern states of Nigeria, covering over 5,000 kilometres.
She made history as the first female biker to tour the North. Olayemi started biking in September 2022, less than a year ago and said her reason for biking was because she felt the bike was cheaper and easier to manage.
