Given that his name is called out one after another throughout the ceremony, a Nigerian man has been acknowledged as having the longest graduating name at the University of Kent.
When the eight names of the Nigerian graduate were called, the audience and other graduates applauded as he approached the podium to accept his diploma.
The individual, who is the first Kent University graduate with the longest name, was noted by the university on their TikTok page.
The footage shows Boluwatife Oluwasemilore Oluwadamilola Oyekunle Anyanfeoluwa Emmanuel Michael Oladele approaching the podium as the eight names were announced to applause.
