The countdown has begun for the Miss Universe Nigeria 2025 grand finale as 22 stunning and accomplished young women from across the federation prepare to compete for the prestigious crown.
The finalists, introduced on the pageant’s official website and social media platforms, represent a blend of beauty, intelligence, and passion for advocacy.
Each contestant will not only showcase her grace on stage but also champion a social cause, ranging from education and youth empowerment to health and gender equality.
In the weeks leading up to the finale, the contestants have been engaged in intensive preparatory activities.
These include physical fitness routines, mental drills, catwalk coaching, and advocacy workshops aimed at grooming them into well-rounded ambassadors for Nigeria.
The pageant organisers emphasised that Miss Universe Nigeria is more than just a beauty competition, describing it as a platform that empowers women to lead, influence, and create impact in society.
The eventual winner will succeed outgoing queen, Chidinma Adetshina, and go on to represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe international finals later this year. Expectations are high as the country hopes to make a strong impression on the global stage.
