IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – 24-year-old event planner, Ada Agwu Eme, beat 37 other contestants from across Nigeria to emerge the 2022 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN)
The event was held on Friday night, at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.
The 34th annual pageant was hosted by actor, Deyemi Okanlawon and a former MBGN, Munachi Abii.
The beauty queens who made it to the Top 5 alongside Ada are, Montana Felix (Miss Edo), Ukatu Genevieve (Miss Anambra), Lydia Oluwapelumi Balogun (Miss Lagos) and Uzogheli Ifeoma (Miss Abuja).
The Abia-born model will go on to represent Nigeria at the next Miss World pageant, while Montana Felix would be Nigeriaās representative at Miss Universe.
MBGN in its 36th year is the brainchild of entertainment mogul, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, via his Silverbird Group.
Originally known as Miss Universe Nigeria, it was renamed Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria after news publishers Daily Times lost their license to send delegates from rival contest Miss Nigeria to Miss World.
