The event took place on the 11th of November 2017.

As part of the sponsorship, Cocoon Homes unveiled the traditional cycling sponsored winner jerseys and announced its Cocoon Atlantic project in which construction will begin within a few weeks.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Criterium, Mr. Farouk Imam, Managing Director, Cocoon Homes Ltd said that, “Cocoon Homes is excited to be part of the Lagos City Criterium.
