With the captivating theme “Breaking The Glass Ceiling: Peaceful Entrepreneurship,” this year’s edition is a resounding call for gender equality, women’s rights, and empowerment.

The heart of the competition beats for the coveted title of the 2023 Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant, a recognition that comes with more than just a crown. The winner will grasp a remarkable opportunity – a N2,000,000 cash prize to turn her business idea into reality.

The Miss Nigeria organizers stand firmly by their belief that this pageant mirrors the resilience and progress of Nigerian women. Through years of unwavering determination, these women have battled for their fundamental rights and citizenship. While celebrating the milestones achieved, the event’s focus remains on the ongoing pursuit of gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The driving force behind MISS NAIJA, Mr. Samila Adoyi Ogwuche, known as DanHausawa, emphasizes the core mission of the event – to offer a nurturing platform where young women can blossom without inhibitions. In his own words, “Our goal is to provide a space where young women can showcase their talents, intellect, and leadership prowess while breaking down barriers and embracing their individuality.”

Beyond the glimmer and glitz, the Miss Nigeria pageant carries a profound purpose: to crown a queen whose influence goes beyond fashion and entertainment. Ambassador Melvin Ijeh, the Chair of the Local Organizing Committee and a Peace Advocate, underlines the pageant’s commitment to nurturing a beauty queen capable of addressing peace and development challenges. The platform takes a strong stance in equipping young participants with the tools to drive positive change, including the deradicalization of youth in troubled areas.

Ambassador Melvin Ijeh underscores the significance of promoting projects that foster development and advocate for peace, especially in Plateau State and other regions of Northern Nigeria.

Mr. Ejeh, the head of the Local Organizing Committee, stressed that the reputation of beauty pageants in Nigeria has suffered, prompting the introduction of a fresh approach aimed at drawing interest from global investors, boosting tourism, fostering community development, and garnering international government attention.

Miss Gold “Gloria” Semlek, the CEO of Walk With Gold Modeling Agency, has made public her intention to reshape perceptions surrounding models and pageantry with the upcoming Miss Naija 2023 event. This occasion will prioritize not solely external beauty, but also encompass intellect and proficiency.

Mark your calendars for October 1, 2023, as the MISS NAIJA Beauty Pageant unfolds in Jos Plateau State. Coinciding with Nigeria’s Independence Day, this grand event will bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds, commemorating not just the nation’s survival but also the remarkable journey and unwavering spirit of the Nigerian girl child.
