Samuel is scheduled to undertake the 48-hour challenge from October 29 to 31, 2026, at Njay Beauty Spa & Salon in Akure, Ondo State.
The event is intended to raise awareness about foot care and hygiene while showcasing opportunities within Nigeria’s beauty and wellness industry.
Samuel, a graduate of Anatomy from the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, said his academic background had strengthened his understanding of human physiology and foot-care structure.
He began learning manicure and pedicure techniques during his second year at university. After more than five years of practice, his business developed from a side venture into Sam Pedicures, a brand focused on professional foot care and hygiene.
The entrepreneur also hopes the challenge will encourage young Nigerians to develop practical skills, build businesses and explore self-employment alongside formal education.
Organisers say the programme will include live entertainment, a red-carpet experience, food and drinks, as well as free pedicure sessions for attendees.
The attempt will need to meet Guinness World Records’ requirements and undergo the organisation’s verification process before Samuel can be recognised as an official record holder.
