Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commended a chef, Hilda Baci, over an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time.

Hilda, 27, on Thursday, May 11, set up a four-day ‘cook-a-thon’ at Amore Gardens in the Lekki area of Lagos State to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time.

The current record for the world’s longest cooking marathon is held by Lata Tondon who completed the task in 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 secs in Rewa, India, in 2019.

Sharing pictures of his visit to the chef via his social media accounts on Sunday, May 14, Governor Sanwo-Olu promised to continue to support Hilda on the move to break the Guinness World Record.
