Hilda announced on Wednesday that more than 20,000 people had registered to attend the event dubbed “Gino World Jollof Festival with Hilda Baci”

She affirmed that the event which kicks off at 9 a.m. on Friday, September 12, is free to attend, and that guests will “certainly not be paying for the amazing meal that I’m going to make for you.”

According to Baci, the historic attempt will feature a giant pot measuring six metres wide and six metres tall, in collaboration with seasoning and culinary brand Gino.

She also disclosed she would be using 250 bags of rice to create what she hopes will become the world’s biggest pot of Nigerian jollof rice.

The event is expected to attract a crowd of food lovers and supporters eager to witness another record-breaking feat by the celebrity chef.

“Yes, I can officially confirm this pot is squeaky clean, I personally rolled up my sleeves and washed it myself,” she noted.

“In just a few hours, this same pot will be home to thousands of servings of Nigerian Jollof history in the making,” she added.

Baci promised that the pot would be fully sanitised before the cooking began and pledged to serve .
