Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, Chairman of the Silverbird Group, has announced plans to host the 2025 Miss Universe beauty pageant in Nigeria, provided the newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, wins the upcoming global contest.
In a statement shared on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Murray-Bruce assured that his company would pull out all the stops to make this dream a reality.
“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,” Murray-Bruce wrote.
Reflecting on past challenges, he added, “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.”

This declaration comes on the heels of Chidimma Adetshina’s victory at the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, a win that followed her controversial exit from the Miss South Africa beauty contest due to questions about her nationality.
With Murray-Bruce’s commitment and Adetshina’s potential triumph, Nigeria could soon be the centre of the global beauty stage once again.
