President Buhari posted this statement on his Facebook on Tuesday night
“I share the immense joy of all Nigerians as Hilda Bassey Effiong (Hilda Baci) makes history by breaking the world record for longest cooking marathon. A great moment for Nigeria. We’re all very proud of what she has personally accomplished—and placing Nigeria in the global spotlight.
“Hilda’s drive, ambition and resilience have brought great interest and insight into the uniqueness of Nigerian food. She is now a cultural icon, and I believe that this feat will inspire many more young people, in Nigeria and beyond, to follow in her footsteps.”
