Cook-a-thon: Bawumia supports Chef Faila with GH₵30K
The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has extended financial support of GH₵30,000 to Chef Abdul-Razak Failatu, otherwise known as Jah Bless Faila to assist in covering for the bills incurred during her attempt to break the Guinness World Record in a cook-a-thon.
Hon. Shani Alhassan Saibuhe, the Northern Regional Minister made this announcement while speaking to the media at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale, where the marathon is currently taking place.
While donating the money on behalf of the Vice President, the minister, averred that Chef Faila’s decision to hold the cooking-a-thon in the Tamale will put the region on the map and prove that the region has so much to offer in terms of hospitality.
“We are here on our behalf and behalf of his excellency the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and on behalf of His excellence and flagbearer of my party Dr Mahamaudu Bawumia. He has asked us to make a donation on his behalf because duty has taken him out of the country.
“We are here to make a donation of GH₵30,000 from the Vice president to aid her in her ambition to break the Guinness World Record,” he said on January 1, 2023,” he said.
The minister further said his goodwill message and wished Chef Failatu set a new record that would be very difficult for others to break.
The ambitious culinary marathon, spanning from January 1 to 5, 2024, is Chef Failatu’s determined effort to surpass the existing record of 119 hours and 57 minutes set last year by Ireland’s Alan Fisher, who surpassed the renowned Hilda Baci’s record.
