Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, has received new recognition from Guinness World Records, making her a three-time record holder.
Ms Baci said she discovered that while she and her team broke the record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, they had also set the record for the largest serving of rice overall, a title she had been unaware of until she checked her email on Tuesday.
She said, âWoke up a three-time Guinness World Records holder and Iâm still trying to wrap my head around it. Five months after the initial record announcement, I was just finding out that there was more⊠what I thought was one record turned out to be two.â
The achievement was on September 12, 2025, when Ms Baci and her team prepared 8,780 kilograms (19,356 lb 9 oz) of Nigerian jollof rice.
The food produced was enough for 16,600 portions, all distributed in line with Guinness World Recordsâ rules to prevent food waste.
GWR, confirming the record on their website, said, âThe largest serving of rice is 8,780kg (19356 Ib, 9 oz) and was achieved by Hilda Baci and Gino (all Nigerian), in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria, on 12 September 2025.â
The organisation added that the record title was âachieved while attempting the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof riceâ.
Ms Baci credited her team and close collaborators for the feat.
âThe very first person I called was @oreoluwa_atinmo, because this journey, this vision, and this record would not have been possible without her. Honestly, God is faithful. This feels like such a beautiful reminder that even when you think youâve seen the full picture, God can still say, âThereâs moreâ,â she stated.
