Chidimma Adetshina representing Taraba state, was crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 on Saturday night.
The Soweto-born beauty queen who brought a lot of controversy around her before winning the title, was among 25 contestants who were gunning for the crown. Adetshina was forced to withdraw from Miss South Africa 2024 just days before the finale after Home Affairs found prima facie evidence her parents may have allegedly committed identity fraud when she was born, raising question marks around her citizenship in South Africa.
Meanwhile, the finale of the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 took place at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre in Victoria Island.
Adetshina said her advocacy would be inclusion, unity and acceptance, undoubtedly referring to her Miss SA experience.
The 2nd edition of the beauty pageant was hosted by Victory Wilson and Anthony Abraham with a panel of seven judges.
