Daniel Ehis Aiguokhian, a student at the University of Calabar (UNICAL), has begun his quest to write for 188 hours without interruption.

The student’s attempt is to set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest hours of writing fiction and non-fiction stories by an individual.

In June, Aiguohkian announced his intention to commence on the daunting feat.

He started his write-a-thon challenge on October 1 and is expected to end on October 8.

During the 7-day marathon writing session, Aiguokhian will write and produce two books each day, one on fiction and the other on non-fiction.

As of the time of this report, the student has written for more than 40 hours.

Aiguokhian’s write-a-thon attempt adds to the list of world records several Nigerians have aimed to break since the dawn of 2023.
