Ekiti State Government ban proposed Kiss-a-thon challenge Aimed at breaking Guinness World Record.
In a letter addressed to the Ekiti State Hoteliers Association dated July 3, 2023, by the State’s Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Tourism, signed by the Ministry’s Director of Tourism, Adebanji Adelusi, the State government threatened to sanction any facility that hosts the event.
The letter partly reads, “Kiss-a-thon” as an event is not only absurd, immoral, unhealthy, and capable of denigrating the image of Ekiti, it is a programme that runs counter to the values of the people of the state and, therefore, capable of plunging our youths morally backward.”
A group known as Sugartee had planned on setting a new 72 hours kiss-a-ton Guinness World record at an event scheduled to hold at a popular amusement park in Ado, Ekiti state capital.
