The federal government has rallied support for Miss Nigeria, Tamunosoye Karibi-George, as the country’s official representative to the 75th Miss World pageant scheduled to hold in Vietnam on 5 September.
Speaking at a send-forth reception in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, described the global pageant as a platform promoting leadership, purpose and social impact.
“It is my honour to present and send forth Miss Tamunosoye Karibi-George, Miss Nigeria, as the official representative of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Miss World Pageant 2026.
“She will carry our flag onto one of the most visible stages in the world, and she will carry it with grace, intelligence and pride,” she said.
The minister said Nigeria’s participation alongside contestants from about 130 countries offered an opportunity to showcase the nation’s cultural heritage, promote its creative economy and project the resilience of Nigerian women.
