Student of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Samuel Chinecherem Ezeh Breaks Guinness Records For Creating Longest Sleeves
A fashion designer claimed a world record by creating a show-stopping robe with 50-metre sleeves.
The longest sleeves on a garment is 51.20 metres (167.97 ft) and was achieved by Samuel Chinecherem Ezeh (Nigeria) in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria.
That’s longer than the Statue of Liberty is high and longer than an Olympic-size swimming pool.
Samuel made this attempt to create a landmark piece in the field of fashion.
Samuel, 27, who works as a fashion designer and tailor while studying at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, had to overcome a lot to make the garment.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has inaugurated a 23-member committee to determine the admission eligibility of 599 outstanding underage candidates who scored 320 and above in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), out of over 11,000 candidates in that category.
JAMB Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, emphasizes that scoring 320 is not an automatic ticket to university admission. He notes that each of the affected candidates must also attain at least 80 percent in both their school based assessments and post UTME examinations to be considered.
He further advised parents against cutting corners to secure admission for their underage children, warning that maturity and readiness remain key factors in tertiary education success.
The Registrar also adds that only those who meet all requirements at each stage of the rigorous screening process will be recommended for admission. The final list of successful candidates is expected to be released in September.
