A 200 level student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State has started a 50-hour hand wash-a-thon.
Miss Subair Enitan from the Department of Linguistics and African Languages aims to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) by Sunday.
The Guinness World Record fixed November 24, 2023 for the attempt of wash-a-thon in Ile-Ife after she notified them of her intention in June 2023.
The student before she started boasted that she would finish strong as the title holder of longest hand washing hours.
She said: “My background motivated me to embark on this wash-a-thon and the lessons life has taught me. The experience is unexplainable but it taught me to be selfless. I am confident that I will reach the set goal of 50 hours of hand wash and by God’s grace I will emerge victorious.
“Despite the massive support from my colleagues here, I pray for the grace of God. I will end this wash-a-thon on Sunday. I am setting the record, I can’t lose because nobody has done it before, so if I do it for 5 minutes, I have set the record. My parents are very supportive, I urge Nigerians to rally round me while I do the washing for 50 hours.”
