Ololade Ayelabola, a student at the University of Lagos, UNILAG, has set a new Guinness World Record record for the longest distance by a model.

She set on the path to achieving the record on the 1st of October at the indoor sports centre of UNILAG.

The model eventually clinched a record of 130.62km catwalk, after starting a 120km attempt.

According to reports, "after hitting the 120km mark, she completed an additional 10km of walking, making 2,058 laps within the sports centre."

She made this known on Instagram saying:
“I’m not walking for myself alone. I am walking for many models who have been limited by stereotypes and standards set by rigid systems.

“I am also walking to showcase the creativity of the Nigerian fashion industry.”
