Success Egbekoba, a talented Nigerian, has officially broken the Guinness World Record for the Longest Time Reading Aloud by an Individual, achieving an impressive 250 hours. This feat surpasses the previous record of 215 hours set by Samson Ajao.
The reading marathon, which took place at the College of Education in Warri, saw Egbekoba overcome initial technical challenges to complete the event and claim the record successfully.
Hailing from Delta State, Egbekoba is a record-breaking individual and an entrepreneur. She explained that the primary goal of the reading marathon was to promote literacy, particularly when many young adults are increasingly drawn to cyber fraud rather than education.
Her initiative was designed to inspire children to stay focused on their dreams and aspirations while also reaching out to the less privileged, who may lack the means to further their education.
