Akure - Christopher Olusa, a 24-year-old man from Nigeria, is setting his sights on breaking the current World Record for the longest speech marathon held by Ananta Ram KC from Nepal. With the approval of the Guinness Book of World Records, Olusa plans to exceed the current record of 90 hours and two minutes by delivering a speech marathon lasting 120 hours.
The event will take place in a luxurious 5-Star Hotel in Akure, Nigeria, from Monday, September 11, 2023. Olusa is determined to inspire positive change with his marathon and has chosen the theme "Voices of Change: Inspiring Solutions for a Better World."
Olusa, a post-graduate student at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), has put together a 40-man team, including medical professionals, to ensure the success and well-being of the participants during the grueling marathon. His aim is not only to break the world record but also to raise funds to support children with aphasia.
In a press conference held at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre in Alagbaka, Akure, Olusa spoke passionately about his mission. He said, "The genesis of this remarkable endeavor was born from an unwavering commitment to inspire positive change in our society. It is about transcending boundaries, shattering limits, and aspiring towards something extraordinary."
