In a statement obtained in Osogbo on Sunday, Mr. Remi Omowaye, the immediate past Commissioner for Works in Osun State, appealed to fellow Nigerians to lend their support to Damilola Adeparusi, an aspiring chef from Ekiti, as she aspires to set a new world record for the longest cooking marathon. Omowaye emphasized the importance of encouraging Adeparusi rather than subjecting her to a barrage of criticisms, which have been directed at her attempts to surpass a record previously achieved by another Nigerian.
Expressing his backing for the Ekiti-born chef, Omowaye announced his donation of N100,000 to assist her in accomplishing her dream. He commended Adeparusi for her dedication to preparing traditional Ekiti cuisines, which have not garnered much popularity beyond the boundaries of the state. The former commissioner emphasized that records exist to be broken and that Adeparusi should be allowed to pursue her aspirations without hindrance.
