The organisers of Miss Universe Nigeria 2025 have unveiled 22 finalists who will compete for the crown at this year’s pageant.

The contestants, drawn from states across the federation, were introduced through the competition’s official website and social media platforms.

The eventual winner will succeed the outgoing queen, Chidinma Adetshina, and go on to represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe international finals later this year.

The pageant, according to the organisers, places emphasis not only on beauty but also on advocacy, with contestants championing causes ranging from education and youth empowerment to health and gender equality.

Camping for the contestants began on Sunday, with the ladies engaging in a series of preparatory activities ahead of the grand finale.

Voting has also commenced on the Miss Universe Nigeria website, while preparations continue for the main event, which is expected to attract high-profile guests from the entertainment, fashion, and corporate sectors.
