The Performing Music Employers Association of Nigeria, FCT Chapter has hailed Diana Paul Mary who recently attempted to break the 150 hours singing marathon Guinness World Record as a brave, courageous and talented young lady that should be an  inspiration to other young Nigerian women in their diverse spheres of endeavour.

To underscore her bravery and quest for excellence, PMAN on Thursday in Abuja presented her with a certificate of recognition for her excellent performance.

It declared her as the first and the longest singing single artiste in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The association made this known at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday in honour of Diana.

Diana, a song writer and girl-child advocate, made the courageous attempt at a one-of-a-kind event that was held at the Blake Resort, Garki, Abuja, but later stopped after 107 hours, on health grounds.

The current record in the singing marathon was set by an Indian, Sunil Waghmare, between March 3 and 7, 2012.

Diana, a Nigerian from Cross River State, who is resident in the FCT, Abuja, had explained that she was not only attempting to set a new record, but also to use the platform as an opportunity to challenge the youth in Nigeria not to give up on their dreams.
