Miss Universe Nigeria, Mitchel Ihezue, is about to end her reign as the 2024 Miss Universe Nigeria camp officially opens in Lagos.
Mitchel declared the end of her tenure on Instagram on Sunday, posting a photoshoot video.
Reflecting on her journey, she expressed profound gratitude for the chances she has had to represent Nigeria and fight for young women throughout the country.
“As my reign as Miss Universe Nigeria comes to a close, I’m filled with a mix of emotions, mostly of gratitude — for the incredible opportunities I’ve had to represent our beautiful country and to be a voice for young women across Nigeria,” she wrote.
“It’s been an honor to wear the crown and to use my platform to make a positive impact through my advocacy, which focused on empowering women, investing in their economic empowerment through business grants, as well as securing the freedom of some women held in prisons for minor, bailable offenses.”
Mitchel also discussed the satisfaction she derived from her projects, which reinforced her belief that the path was worthwhile, despite the difficulties and obstacles she faced.
The model encouraged the contestants, underlining that this is only the beginning of their adventure.
“Embrace every moment, learn from each other, and always strive to be your best selves. Remember, beauty is more than just looks; it’s about your inner strength, confidence, and compassion,” she advised.
She expressed faith in the new contenders’ talents, stating that the next Miss Universe Nigeria will be an excellent representative for the country.
Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 camp began on Saturday, with 24 competitors arriving at the Festival Hotel in Festac, Lagos.
The grand finale will be held on August 31 at the Eko Hotels & Suites in Lagos.
The winner will get N10 million in cash and other prizes, and she will represent Nigeria in the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant.
