“I extend my heartfelt felicitations to the phenomenal Hilda Baci over her audacious attempt to set yet another Guinness World Record, by cooking ‘the world’s largest pot of Nigerian jollof rice.’
She also highlighted Hilda’s previous world record in 2023 when she successfully held a cooking marathon in Lagos.
“Since your grand announcement to the world two years ago, precisely in May 2023, when you became a household name following the completion of a cooking marathon in Lagos, you have become an inspiration to millions of young girls across Nigeria and beyond.
“You remain an embodiment of the true Akwa Ibom ‘can do’ spirit and your latest desire to further expand the global frontiers of innovation and passion in culinary mastery is taking you to a height of confident resilience, as you work towards setting a new record, in the process putting our renowned cooking prowess on the world map.
“I celebrate excellence and hardwork, hoping that this journey propels you to break boundaries, birth new ideas and communities, as well as motivate more young people, especially girls and women, to eliminate the word ‘impossible’ and go ahead to shatter stereotypes and limitations, in living their dreams.
“We celebrate you today and always Hilda, and just as the thousands of people who have converged on the venue of the cook-a-thon, we are rooting for you. Congratulations!”
