OAU Student Lands In Hospital After 58-Hour Hand Wash-a-Thon Attempt

Osogbo, Osun State- In a bid to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest hand cloth washing by Subair Enitan, a 200-level student at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, landed in the hospital after she completed 58 hours of hand wash-a-thon.

Enitan commenced her ambitious endeavour on Friday afternoon, November 24, at the Student Union Building Motor park within the university campus.

The event attracted thousands of students who rallied around her, showing support for her extraordinary attempt.

The 200-level student’s determination to secure a place in the prestigious Guinness World Record book led her to undertake the challenging task. Enitan had applied for the record last June and began her quest with high hopes and aspirations.

Several students, artists, and university officials showed their support by visiting the task pavilion to encourage her towards victory. She successfully completed the 58 hours on Monday and was transported to the institution’s clinic in the School Ambulance for a medical examination.

However, Enitan ended the marathon after 58 hours, surpassing her initial plan of 50 hours.

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
