“Jollof Pride: Minister Hails Hilda Baci’s Guinness World Record Attempt”

Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has applauded celebrated chef Hilda Baci for her audacious attempt to inscribe Nigeria’s culinary heritage into the Guinness World Records.

Baci, whose name resonates across kitchens and households for her passion and mastery of African cuisine, recently embarked on a bold quest to cook the world’s largest pot of jollof rice — a dish that has long stood as a symbol of West African pride and rivalry.

Minister Idris described her effort as a demonstration of Nigeria’s youthful innovation, resilience, and determination to showcase the nation’s culture on the global stage. He stressed that beyond setting a record, Baci’s attempt underscores the boundless potential of Nigerian talent when given a platform to shine.

“This is more than cooking; it is an affirmation of who we are as a people. Hilda Baci has once again proven that Nigerian youths are not just participants in global conversations — they are pacesetters,” Idris declared.

Observers note that Baci’s jollof feat, much like her earlier cook-a-thon triumph, reinforces Nigeria’s dominance in the culinary arts while inspiring millions of young people to dream boldly and act fearlessly.

With the world watching, her record attempt is being celebrated not just as a culinary challenge, but as a cultural statement — one pot of jollof rice large enough to serve as a symbol of unity, creativity, and national pride.
