Guinness World Records has officially confirmed Hilda Baci’s latest achievement — the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice.
In a statement posted on its official X account, Guinness announced that Baci, in partnership with Gino Nigeria, successfully cooked 8,780 kilograms (19,356 lb 9 oz) of jollof rice in Victoria Island, Lagos.
The record attempt, which took place during the World Jollof Festival, drew thousands of spectators, celebrities, and food enthusiasts. A custom pot with a capacity of 22,619 litres was fabricated for the feat, and more than 200 bags of rice were used during the nine-hour cooking marathon.

According to organisers, the event was structured to ensure that the food was distributed to attendees, preventing wastage.
The confirmation adds to Hilda Baci’s growing profile after she previously secured the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual in 2023.
