Guinness World Records has confirmed Nigerian chef Hilda Baci’s latest achievement, officially recognizing her for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice.
The confirmation came just days after her highly publicized cook-off, which attracted widespread attention both online and offline.
In a statement shared on its official X account, Guinness World Records announced: “New record: Largest serving of Nigerian style jollof rice – 8,780 kg (19,356 lb 9 oz) achieved by Hilda Baci and Gino in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.”
The record-breaking event took place on September 12, 2025, at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos. Already renowned for her Guinness World Record in 2023 for the longest cooking marathon, Hilda once again pushed boundaries to reach a new milestone.
Supported by top brands and prominent figures, including Funke Akindele, Enioluwa, Tomike, Pastor Idowu, and Bamidele Abiodun, wife of the Ogun State Governor, Hilda prepared what has now been confirmed as the biggest pot of jollof rice in history.
