Her 96-hour attempt, starting October 1, 2024, features various models walking alongside her, highlighting fashion designers’ creative works.

Inspired by Kafayat ‘Kaffy’ Shafau’s record-breaking dance achievement, Ayelabola seeks to:

– Break the 114.4 km record

– Celebrate Nigeria’s 64th independence through fashion

Ayelabola shared her personal story, having faced rejection due to her height, and now hopes to change the narrative, encouraging support for her journey.

The event aims to showcase Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and broadcast its history through fashion, with Ayelabola expressing gratitude for support received so far.
