CurrentReport Blog Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, Chairman of the Silverbird Group, has announced that Nigeria will host the 2025 Miss Universe beauty pageant if the newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, emerges victorious in this year’s competition.
In a statement released on Tuesday via his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Murray-Bruce assured that Silverbird Group would do everything within its power to bring the prestigious global event to Nigeria. He expressed confidence that the difficulties encountered during Nigeria’s attempt to host the Miss World pageant in 2002 would not recur.
Murray-Bruce emphasized the importance of restoring Nigeria’s presence on the global stage, stating, “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.”
Chidimma Adetshina recently won the Miss Universe Nigeria title after stepping down from the Miss South Africa beauty contest due to scrutiny over her nationality. Her victory has sparked excitement and hope that she could bring the Miss Universe crown to Nigeria, paving the way for the country to host the prestigious event in 2025.
