Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the former governor of Akwa-Ibom State, paid a visit to Hilda Bassey Effiong, a.k.a. Hilda Baci, a Nigerian chef who set a new world record for the longest cooking session on Monday.
At 7:45 on Monday morning, Hilda surpassed the previous record established by Indian chef Lata Tondon.
Godswill Akpabio visited the location, Amore Gardens, in Lekki, Lagos State, shortly after Hilda secured the record to meet with her.
He cheered her and promised to reward the 27-year-old Akwa Ibom State citizen.
He said on Twitter, “I was this morning joined by my colleagues Senators-elect, on a solidarity visit to an Akwa Ibom youngster, Hilda Baci, who is poised to shatter the Guinness Book of Records as the Chef with the longest cooking time in the world.
“I wish her well and offer to reward her at the conclusion of the contest. I appreciate her exemplifying the can-do attitude of an Akwa Ibom youngster. FORWARD EVER, BACKWARD NEVER.”
