Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, Chairman of the Silverbird Group, announced that Nigeria is set to host the 2025 Miss Universe beauty pageant, contingent upon the success of the newly crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, in this year's competition.
In a statement shared on his X account on Tuesday, Bruce
committed that his organization, Silverbird Group, will exert every effort to
ensure Nigeria's hosting of the prestigious event next year.
He assured that the difficulties encountered during the
attempt to host Miss World in Nigeria in 2002 will not be repeated.
Bruce emphasized that it is time for Nigeria to reclaim its
prominent position on the international stage.
Bruce wrote: “If Chidimma Adetshina clinches the
@MissUniverse crown, rest assured, The Silverbird Group will spare no expense
or effort to bring the next Miss Universe pageant to Nigeria in 2025. We’ve
learned from the past—those who remember our attempt to host Miss World in
Nigeria in 2002 know the challenges we faced. But let me make this clear: what
happened then will not repeat itself. Nigeria is set to reclaim its rightful
place on the global stage, and there isn’t a force on earth that can stand in our
way.”
Recently, Chidimma Adetshina emerged as the victor of the
Miss Universe Nigeria pageant. This triumph follows her compelled resignation
from the Miss South Africa beauty contest due to meticulous examination of her
nationality.
