Chidimma Adetshina’s Courage Made Nigeria Proud, House Of Reps Congratulates Miss Universe 2024 First Runner-Up

The Nigerian House of Representatives has congratulated Chidimma Adetshina for emerging as the first runner-up at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City.

Chidimma’s journey to the top was not without its challenges. Initially, she participated in the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant but withdrew due to controversy surrounding her citizenship.

However, this setback didn’t hold her back. She went on to represent Taraba State and won Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, earning the right to represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe pageant.

A congratulatory message, signed by Rep. Akin Rotimi Jr., spokesman for the House of Representatives, on Sunday, said “the deputy speaker Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu praised her tenacity and grace, stating that her inspiring story, marked by perseverance and grace, will undoubtedly serve as a beacon of hope and motivation for generations to come”.

According to statement, the 10th House of Representatives reaffirms its commitment to advancing policies that empower the girl-child and champion the progress of women in all areas of life.

The statement reads in part, “I commend the Silverbird Group and everyone who contributed to her success. Together, we celebrate this milestone and wish her even greater accomplishments and a future filled with endless possibilities.

“The House commends Ms. Adetshina for her poise under pressure, eloquence in representing the aspirations of young girls, and passionate advocacy for hope and empowerment. Her courage and grace in overcoming challenges have made Nigeria proud, establishing her as a true symbol of hope and possibility.

“As we honour her remarkable achievement, the 10th House of Representatives reaffirms its commitment to advancing policies that empower the girl-child and champion the progress of women in all areas of life.

“We eagerly anticipate the positive contributions Miss Adetshina will continue to make as a role model on the global stage.”
