Hilda Baci awarded Guinness World Record for largest serving of jollof rice

Guinness World Records has officially confirmed Nigerian chef Hilda Baci’s latest historic feat, awarding her the title for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice.

The confirmation came days after the ambitious cook-off event that drew massive attention both on and off social media.

In a post 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 grand event, held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, was staged on September 12, 2025. Hilda, already celebrated for her Guinness World Record in 2023 for the longest cooking marathon, set her sights on another remarkable milestone.

Backed by top brands, celebrities like Funke Akindele, Enioluwa, Tomike, and Pastor Idowu, as well as Bamidele Abiodun, wife of the Ogun State Governor, she cooked what became the biggest pot of jollof rice ever recorded.
