In a post shared on its official X account, Guinness World Records said, “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.” They wrote.
The feat came after a grand culinary spectacle held on September 12, 2025, at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The event, tagged the ‘Gino World Jollof Festival’ with Hilda Baci, attracted thousands of attendees and generated massive social media buzz.
