Miss Universe Nigeria: Chidinma Adetshina to represent Taraba

A former finalist in the 2024 Miss South Africa competition, Chidimma Adetshina, will be representing Taraba State in the forthcoming Miss Universe Nigeria competition.

Chidinma’s participation in Miss South Africa generated controversy following some questions about her nationality.

Following the controversy that prompted an investigation by the South African Ministry of Home Affairs, Chidimma decided to withdraw from the contest. And accepted an invitation to participate in the 2024 Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.

Introducing her on Friday on its official site, the organisers of the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant announced that Chidimma will be competing as Miss Taraba as contestant number 25.

“Introducing CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA (@chichi_vanessa ) as MISS TARABA STATE,” the organisers wrote.
