Bello Muhammad, a young cyclist from Kebbi State, has earned international recognition after securing a Guinness World Records title for riding a bicycle measuring 2.9 metres in height without assistance.
Gatekeepers News reports that Muhammad reportedly achieved the feat on September 22, 2026, in Kebbi State, where he successfully mounted, rode and dismounted the unusually tall bicycle unaided.
The achievement was celebrated at the Kebbi State Government Secretariat in Birnin Kebbi, where government officials praised the cyclist for demonstrating creativity, determination and technical ingenuity.
Abubakar Kalgo, patron of the Kebbi State Equity Cyclist Association, said Muhammad fabricated the bicycle himself and demonstrated the exceptional skill required to ride it without assistance.
Kalgo presented the Guinness World Records certificate to the state government, represented by TPL Malami Shekare, Head of Service.
Receiving the certificate on behalf of Governor Nasir Idris, Shekare congratulated Muhammad, describing his accomplishment as an inspiring example of how perseverance and innovation could turn talent into extraordinary success.
In recognition of the achievement, the Head of Service also donated N1 million to the cyclist.
Shekare said the record underscored the importance of supporting young people and creating opportunities for them to develop their talents and abilities.
Muhammad’s accomplishment has also drawn attention to the creativity and potential of Nigerian youths, demonstrating how individual initiative and technical skills can earn international recognition.
