Miss Subair Enitan, currently in her second year pursuing Linguistics and African Languages at Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State, has initiated an ambitious 50-hour hand wash-a-thon in a bid to shatter the Guinness World Record (GWR), as reported by Vanguard News.
The Guinness World Record approved the designated date for this extraordinary wash-a-thon attempt in Ile-Ife after Enitan formally conveyed her plans to them in June 2023.
Before embarking on the official washing marathon, Enitan exuded confidence, expressing her unwavering determination to clinch the title for the longest duration spent hand washing, with a commitment to completing the arduous 50-hour challenge by Sunday.
“Motivated by my background and life’s lessons, I decided to undertake this wash-a-thon. The experience is challenging to articulate, but it’s instilled in me a sense of selflessness,” she shared.
“I am certain I will achieve the goal of hand washing for 50 hours and, with God’s grace, emerge victorious in setting a new record.”
“Despite the overwhelming support from my fellow students, my reliance is on God’s grace. I intend to conclude this wash-a-thon on Sunday. I am here to establish a record; failure is not an option because no one has ventured into this territory before.”
“Even if I manage just 5 minutes, it will be a record. I am fortunate to have the unwavering support of my parents, and I am reaching out to fellow Nigerians to stand by me during these 50 hours of continuous washing.”
The Student Union president, Abbas Akinremi-Ojo, verified that comprehensive support, including provisions such as ambulances, lighting, and water, along with other logistical arrangements, has been put in place to ensure Enitan's success in this extraordinary challenge.
The OAU management, represented by the Dean of Students Affairs, Professor John Odedire, has reassured the university's unwavering commitment to providing all essential support to ensure Enitan secures the coveted Guinness World Record.
