A 200-level Linguistics and African Languages student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Miss Subair Enitan, has been admitted to the university’s hospital after completing a 58 hours hand wash-a-thon.
Enitan embarked on the Guinness World Record (GWR) attempt on Friday, November 24, 2023, at 2:35 PM within the school premises.
She initially aimed to complete the challenge within 50 hours. However, due to concerns about potential deductions from her video during the GWR’s examination process, she decided to extend the duration.
Throughout the event, thousands of students and university officials showed solidarity by visiting the pavilion to support her quest for victory.
Completing the 58-hour challenge around midnight on Monday, Enitan was transported in the School Ambulance to the institution’s clinic for a medical examination.
Speaking before heading to the clinic, Enitan said she was fulfilled to have completed the task right in front of her mother, Omogbolabo Afolake, who was at the venue for over two days.
“I am very fulfilled to have completed the task right in front of my mum, friends and colleagues who thronged this venue to show love and support my ambition”, she said.
