Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, Chairman of the Silverbird Group, has announced that Nigeria will host the 2025 Miss Universe beauty pageant if Chidimma Adetshina, the newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, wins this year’s competition.
In a statement on his X handle on Tuesday, Bruce assured that the Silverbird Group would do everything possible to bring the global event to Nigeria. He emphasized that the challenges faced during their attempt to host Miss World in 2002 would not be repeated.
Bruce stated, “If Chidimma Adetshina clinches the @MissUniverse crown, rest assured, The Silverbird Group will spare no expense or effort to bring the next Miss Universe pageant to Nigeria in 2025. We’ve learned from the past—those who remember our attempt to host Miss World in Nigeria in 2002 know the challenges we faced. But let me make this clear: what happened then will not repeat itself. Nigeria is set to reclaim its rightful place on the global stage, and there isn’t a force on earth that can stand in our way.”
It is reported that Chidimma Adetshina recently won the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant after resigning from the Miss South Africa beauty contest due to scrutiny over her nationality.
