Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has called on Lagos residents to collect the large quantity of jollof rice remaining from her Guinness World Record attempt for the largest pot of the dish.
The event, which held on Friday at Eko Hotel in Lagos, produced thousands of kilograms of jollof rice. Despite packaging and widespread distribution, a significant portion of the food is still available.
In a video message, Baci urged members of the public to bring containers or coolers to the venue, assuring them that the meal was well-prepared and abundant.
“We’re still packaging food. There is still so much food. Please, you guys, come through and come and get the food. It’s a lot and we cannot waste it,” she said. “I’ve been here since the day before yesterday. And I’m not going to leave this place until this pot is empty and until everybody in Lagos has eaten from this food.”
Her team has already begun sharing portions with road users across the city, but Baci emphasised that she would remain at the venue until every last serving is given out.
