The auditions started at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja on Nov. 7 with an impressive turnout of contestants from the Northern region who showed up for a chance to become the next queen.
Delta State representative, Regina Chinedu was first runner up while Ondo State representative, Ann Benjamin was second runner up. The winner goes home with N5m, a brand new SUV, 6 months acquisition programme in any institution of her choice and a one year serviced apartment.
