The contestants were introduced through the pageant’s official website and social media platforms, where they showcased not only their elegance but also their passion for advocacy and social impact.
As part of preparations, the young women are undergoing a series of activities designed to sharpen both body and mind — from fitness and mental drills to advocacy training. Each contestant is expected to champion a cause ranging from education and youth empowerment to health and gender equality, underscoring the pageant’s emphasis on purpose-driven beauty.
The eventual winner will succeed Chidinma Adetshina, the outgoing queen, and represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe international finals later this year.
