"The world record is around 1,500 metres and we are going to do 1,900 metres. After that, we will have a feast with 3,000 of our guests and there will be an announcement by officials of the Guinness Records," he explained.

"The Onga Longest Feast Table will also showcase the rich Ghanaian food culture to the outside world through the exhibition of staple food from the 10 regions of Ghana spiced with Onga seasoning.
