Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s Dangote Flour Mills is set to break a new record with its new initiative tagged; ‘World Puff-Puff Day’, which is to be celebrated on October 27th every year.

The project is aimed at celebrating hardworking homemakers. At the maiden edition of the event which held on Saturday, October 27, 2018 two tonnes which is about 40 bags of 50-kilogramme flour was used to produce 30,000 pieces of puff-puff.

Speaking on the initiative, Mrs Funmilayo Bolarinwa, Group Marketing Executive, Dangote Flour Mills, said; “The firm aims to beat the current Guinness Book of World Records of 200kg (four big bags) of flour fried at a particular location.”

“We brought over 50 confectioners selected from different parts of Lagos to fry different flavours and varieties of puff-puff, including pepper, vanilla, coconut and other flavours.”

Speaking also, the Executive Director, Dangote Flour Mills, Halima Dangote, said; “The festival is the firm’s way of giving back to the community. Next year, we will involve all our competitors like Flour Mills of Nigeria and others, because the puff-puff is the common delicacy that connects us.”

“Everyone at this festival is guaranteed unlimited supply of puff-puff and we have a master class with Chef Eros, who will teach people how to make puff-puff in the comfort of their homes.”

Thabo Mabe, Chief Executive Officer, Dangote Flour Mills, also added that; “The festival is the most current and important event for the company, because it is a way of supporting households that baked bread and other pastries with the Dangote brands.”

“We are introducing 1.5kg of flour so that every household in Nigeria can have access to flour to make puff-puff, which is Nigeria’s beloved eat-and-go snack.”
