A Computer Science student of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Ayelabola Ololade, has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest catwalk distance by a model, breaking a 41-year-old record previously held by two Ireland models in September 1983.
The remarkable milestone was achieved at an event held at the UNILAG indoor sports centre from October 1 to 5.
Ololade expressed gratitude to her parents, volunteers, and other contributors, saying that their support was crucial in achieving the milestone. She also acknowledged the support of various individuals and entities and encouraged other models to dare to dream with the right attitude towards achieving their goals.
With 2058 laps, Ololade cat-walked a distance of 130.62km, surpassing the previous record set by Roberta Brown and Lorraine McCourt, who cat-walked for 114.4 km.
