AXA Mansard Health, one of the Health Management Organisations in Nigeria, has announced a one-year free Gold Health Insurance for Hilda Baci, the 27-year-old Nigerian chef, who achieved the ‘Guinness world record for the longest cooking time’.
The Punch quotes the company as saying on its social media page that its gesture was to boost the morale of the 27-year-old and give her the confidence to progress to the end, despite the exhaustion that might have come with the 70 hours of cooking she had already put in.
The statement read, “Dear Hilda, you’re doing amazing! We see your determination and we know you can.
“AXA Mansard Health solidly supports you. We know that when you feel secure, you can progress. So we are supporting you with a one-year Gold Health Insurance. We trust this can strengthen you more in the pursuit of this world record for yourself, the millions of women you inspire every day, and our dear country.
“We hope this support will inspire you and serve as an additional elixir to the millions of supporters you already enjoy worldwide today and always. Wishing her all the best.”
Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey Effiong, popularly known as Hilda Baci, set a new Guinness World Record for the longest cooking hours. The Nigerian and an Akwa Ibom State native, surpassed the record for the longest cooking time by an individual, with a 100-hour record time. Baci beat Indian chef, Lata Tondon, who had completed the task in 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 secs in 2019.
