The 27-year-old chef broke the current world record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual by cooking for 100 hours straight; the previous record was set by India’s Lata Tondon with 87 hours and 45 minutes. The Chief Operating Officer of Dana Air, Ememobong Ettete, said that the airline has and will always support young Nigerians who embody the true Nigerian spirit as a proudly Nigerian brand.
